Systems and devices for transformation and distribution of energy storage devices

A computer-implemented method of managing distribution and transformation of energy storage devices, wherein said method comprises:

• receiving substantially uncharged energy storage devices;
• transforming energy storage devices from a substantially uncharged state to a substantially charged state by providing a sufficient amount of electricity or transforming the energy storage devices into component materials or transforming said energy storage devices into isolated component materials;
• optionally maintaining substantially charged energy storage devices in said substantially charged state and optionally preventing overcharging of substantially charged energy storage devices;
• transacting payment from a recipient user for substantially charged energy storage devices selected by said user;
• dispensing charged energy storage devices to said recipient user;
• utilizing at least one sequence of computer program instructions stored in an electronic digital memory in a computer to manage at least one step selected from organization, transformation, inventory, storage, payment transaction and dispensation of energy storage devices.

A distribution unit for receiving, and optionally dispensing energy storage devices, said unit comprising:

• a receiver panel to receive at least one energy storage device from a sender user;
• a selection panel that enables a recipient user to select size, type and number of energy storage devices to be dispensed;
• a transaction panel to process payment from said recipient user;
• optionally a dispensation panel to dispense to said recipient user, substantially charged energy storage devices as selected by the recipient user;
• a control panel for at least restocking and organizing energy storage devices within said distribution unit;
• and
• optionally comprising a transformation unit for transformation of a plurality of energy storage devices to a substantially charged state by providing a sufficient amount of electricity, wherein said transformation unit optionally maintains substantially charged energy storage devices in said substantially charged state till said devices are dispensed to a recipient user and wherein said transformation unit optionally regulates the supply of electricity to the energy storage devices by preventing overcharging of charged energy storage devices and/or minimizing charging during peak hours.
