Battery modules and systems for remote command and control of same

A system for management and control of one or more battery modules, the system comprising:

• one or more battery modules including a battery case, a plurality of battery cells received within the battery case, a negative electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, a positive electrical terminal electrically coupled to the battery cells, and electronics received within the battery case and configured to enable electromagnetic signaling to and from the battery module;
• a controller remote from and communicatively coupled to the one or more battery modules and configured to receive the electromagnetic signaling from the battery module and transmit the electromagnetic signaling to the battery module;
• a user database in which user information correlated to one or more users of the one or more battery modules is stored in memory and from which the user information can be retrieved by the controller;
• wherein the user information includes payment history information or current payment status information for one or more accounts correlated to the one or more users;
• and
• wherein the payment history information or current payment status information is correlated to payment by the one or more users for draw of power from the one or more battery modules;
• and
• wherein the one or more battery modules include a disable mechanism responsive to the electromagnetic signaling to the battery module and operable to disable use of a voltage potential between the positive electrical terminal and the negative electrical terminal.
