A battery servicing system for use in a battery servicing station 102, includes a plurality of actuators and a controller configured to control the plurality of actuators to position a battery being tested on a lid 116 that is configured as a test plate on a workstation in the battery servicing station. The controller is configured to test the battery based on a predefined set of reference parameters and automatically eject the battery from the battery servicing station when the battery is determined to be malfunctioning. The controller is configured to drop a container part 114 onto the malfunctioning battery such that the lid and the container part are engaged along with the malfunctioning battery and transported away from the battery servicing station. Preferably, the container part is provided on a frame 118 with a winch 120 which is located outside the battery servicing station. The battery servicing system improves the safety of disposal of a malfunctioned battery by enabling an efficient and fail-safe automatic ejection of the malfunctioned battery outside the battery servicing station. The battery servicing system can be provided in a mobile unit for use in testing vehicle batteries at a remote location.
