A storage battery includes a battery housing and a plurality of
electrochemical cells in the battery housing electrically connected to
terminals of the battery. A battery test module is mounted to the battery
housing and electrically coupled to the terminals through Kelvin
connections. A display or other output is configured to output battery
condition information from the battery test module. The battery test
module is configured to automatically carry out a battery test when a
voltage across the battery falls below a predetermined threshold.
