(US5927938-A)      The station includes a displacement assembly (16) that removes spent batteries of electric vehicles by placing charged batteries into position within the vehicles so as to laterally displace spent batteries. The latter are received by the receiving station (15), where the batteries are tested both electrically and by comparing battery status data against set criteria.    A computer is coupled to the conveyor such that the computer programmably moves batteries along the conveyor from the receiving end to the delivery end. At least one electronic sensor is coupled to the computer positioned along the conveyor to read unique ID codes of batteries on it. A database is coupled to the computer for storing historical data for the batteries, which is stored in association with the unique ID codes of the batteries.    USE -   As battery transfer and charging system for electrically powered vehicles    ADVANTAGE -   Provides efficient handling during removal, and installation procedures. Fully automated system that is adaptable to variety of battery powered vehicles.
