BATTERY PACK TEST CONNECTOR

Abstract

A battery pack test connector that is configured for testing battery packs by connecting to a terminal on the battery pack to conduct the testing. The battery pack test connector can be configured to perform electrical testing, vacuum/pressure leak testing, or both electrical testing and vacuum/pressure leak testing. The ability to perform both electrical testing and leak testing using the same, single test connector eliminates the need for separate test connectors, one for electrical testing and one for vacuum/pressure leak testing. The test connector may also include a removable and replaceable cartridge that includes electrical contacts, a vacuum/pressure leak test passageway, and a mechanical seal for conducting leak testing. The cartridge allows replacement of worn parts without replacing the entire test connector.
