Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring and maintaining a plurality of batteries. The batteries are maintained according to a two-part method. In the first part, a normal analysis is performed on all of the batteries. In the normal analysis, it is determined if any one of the batteries has marginal conditions. The marginal battery (which can be one or more batteries) is selected for a second part of the method, which includes a detailed analysis. The detailed analysis is performed on the marginal battery. The marginal battery is then serviced according to the results of the detailed analysis.
