When the connection unit is in the conducting state, the positive and negative electrodes of the battery 100 to be tested connected to the battery high current short circuit test device are conducted by the connection unit, and the battery 100 to be tested is in a short circuit state. At this time, an external current transformer such as a clamp meter or other current measuring instrument is used, and its test end is connected to the battery high current short circuit test device to measure the current when the battery is short-circuited, and the measured short-circuit current is compared with the short-circuit current setting value of the battery 100 to be tested to determine whether the tested battery meets the product standard. The positive electrode member 101 and the negative electrode member 102 are made of metal or alloy with good electrical conductivity. In one embodiment of the present embodiment, the positive electrode member 101 and the negative electrode member 102 are a pair of copper flat plates.
