fluidly connected to the coolant delivery system for creating a vacuum after draining to evacuate the battery cooling system prior to filling. And, a controller is electrically connected to the battery cooling system to cycle a condenser fan and coolant pump coupled to the battery cooling system on and off according to a predetermined timing sequence.
CLOSURE
state-of-charge indicating device having two switches disposed on one end of the battery is also disclosed.

APPARATUS
Kostrivas Charles W; Sauter Mark E; Spiegelberg Bernard N; Whitcher Gary R Wauwatosa, WI, UNITED STATES assigned to Tulip Corporation A battery closure apparatus for a multi-cell storage battery includes a cap assembly for the simultaneous rotation of a plurality of caps within receptacles on the multi-cell storage battery. The apparatus includes a plurality of caps pivotally attached to a pair of elongate arms. A grip member is coupled to the cap assembly. Application of force to the grip member will simultaneously rotate each cap to releasably secure the caps to the battery receptacles.

PULSED BATTERY REJUVENATOR HAVING VARIABLE TRAILING EDGE SHAPED PULSES
Bay Village, OH, Huhndorff Harry; Bailey John UNITED STATES assigned to Eveready Battery Company Inc A battery is provided with an end-of-cell voltage indicating device which can be used to indicate the state-of-charge of the battery. The indicating device has a flexible substrate of the same peripheral configuration as the battery. The substrate has an indicating coating on one surface which is in thermal or electrical contact with a conductive circuit pattern which can be temporarily connected between the terminals of the battery on application of pressure to an indicated spot on the surface of the substrate. The conductive circuit means causes the indicating coating to undergo a visible change which is representative of the state-of-charge or voltage of the battery. A dual end-switched, integral battery and
Phommarath Southiphone T Mesquite, TX, UNITED STATES assigned to Pulse Charge Systems Inc A battery rejuvenator circuit for use in conjunction with automatic start/stop battery generators. The rejuvenator circuit generates a positive voltage pulse train (characterized by a fast rise time spik:e followed by a non-uniform hump-shaped trail-off) that is combined with a DC charging current output by the charger. Operation of the rejuvenator circuit is controlled by a start-up delay circuit and a disconnect circuit. The start-up delay circuit senses the connection to a battery and delays for a predetermined time period to allow charging to begin before activating lthe rejuvenation circuit. The disconnect circuit senses the disconnection of the charger from the battery and deactivates the rejuvenation circuit.
