Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of methods to determine the state-of-health of maintenance-free aircraft batteries. The various failure modes of aircraft batteries are discussed, along with methods of detecting failed batteries. Specific examples of detection methods are presented for the F-16, F-18, AV-8B, B-1B, and B-52 aircraft batteries
