Systems and methods for managing an energy storage system

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to receive one or more signals relating to an electrical output of an energy storage system onboard a vehicle, the one or more signals received responsive to expiration of a predetermined amount of time following a shutdown of an engine of the vehicle,
• the one or more processors configured to calculate an operational status of the energy storage system of the vehicle based at least in part on a comparison of the electrical output of the energy storage system and one or more designated criteria;
• and
• the one or more processors configured to, responsive to the operational status being below an operational threshold, prevent a subsequent shutdown of the engine of the vehicle until acknowledgement of the operational status is received from an operator of the vehicle.
