recording (202) a real time value of battery voltage with respect
to time measured by the battery voltage sensor (103) in the
10 control unit(101);
comparing (203) the said recorded value with a stored reference
value;
indicating (204) the health of the battery (102) based on the said
comparison.
2. The method (200) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle as
claimed in claim 1, wherein recording includes keeping the vehicle in

20
3. The method (200) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle as
claimed in claim 1, wherein the stored reference value refers to a predetermined
values of battery voltage with respect to time.
4. The method (200) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle as
claimed in claim 1, wherein indicating the health of the battery (102)
comprises an audio or visual means of indication.
5. A control unit(101) adapted to monitor battery 5 (102) health of a
vehicle, the vehicle comprising at least an battery voltage sensor (103)
in communication with the control unit(101), the control unit(101)
configured to:
record a real time value of battery voltage with respect to time by
10 the control unit(101) measured by the battery (102) voltage
sensor (103);
compare the said recorded value with a stored reference value in
the control unit(101);
indicate the health of the battery (102) based on the said
comparison.
6. The control unit (101) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle,
wherein recording includes keeping the vehicle in no load or a
constant load condition for least 10 seconds after the last crank.
7. The control unit (101) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle,
wherein the stored reference value refers to a pre-determined values
of battery voltage with respect to time.
8. The control unit (101) to monitor battery (102) health of a vehicle,
wherein indicating the health of the battery (102) comprises an audio
or visual means of indication. , Description:The present invention proposes method steps to monitor battery health of
a vehicle. The method step 201 comprises cranking the vehicle at least
two times within a duration of a minute. Method step 5 202, comprises
recording a real time value of battery voltage with respect to time
measured by the battery (102) voltage sensor (103) by the control unit
