System and method of controlling a temperature control system based on both system reliability and battery state

A method for controlling a temperature control system, the temperature control system configured to control one or both of temperature or humidity for batteries used in a container, wherein the batteries have at least one associated temperature range for operation or at least one associated humidity range for the operation, the method comprising:

• accessing, using at least one controller, a battery state indicator indicative of a state of at least one aspect of the batteries;
• accessing, using the at least one controller, a temperature control system reliability indicator indicative of reliability of at least one aspect of the temperature control system;
• determining, using the at least one controller, one or both of setpoint temperature that is selected to be within the at least one associated temperature range or setpoint humidity that is selected to be within the at least one associated humidity range based on a combined analysis of a predicted effect on the battery state indicator of controlling the container at the one or both of the setpoint temperature or the setpoint humidity and a predicted effet on the temperature control system reliability indicator in operating the temperature control system at the one or both of the setpoint temperature or the setpoint humidity;
• and
• sending, using the at least one controller, one or more controls, indicative of the one or both the setpoint temperature or the setpoint humidity, via a communication interface to the temperature control system so that the temperature control system to control the container based on the one or both of the setpoint temperature or the setpoint humidity for the operation of the batteries in the container.
