Abstract

The invention is directed to a discharge indicating means for a storage battery (B) in which a choke (L) and a first transistor (T1) are connected to the storage battery via a switching device (S). The base of a second transistor (T2) arranged between the base of the first transistor (T1) and reference potential is controlled such that the circuit arrangement will start oscillating and an indicating device connected in parallel with the first transistor (T1) will light when the battery voltage (UB) has dropped below a predetermined threshold.
