The system also includes the server, which is configured to receive the battery condition information from the vehicle battery tester and to transmit, to a consumer, a report generated based at least in part on the battery condition information ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system, comprising: a vehicle battery tester configured to test at least one condition of a vehicle battery and to transmit battery condition information relating to the at least one condition of the vehicle battery to a server; and the server, wherein the server is configured to receive the battery condition information from the vehicle battery tester and to transmit, to a consumer of the vehicle battery, a report generated based at least in part on the battery condition information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle battery tester is configured to generate the report based at least in part on the battery condition information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the server is configured to generate the report based at least in part on the battery condition information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a database configured to store the battery condition information therein. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4, wherein the database is configured to store a first iteration of the battery condition information from a first test of the vehicle battery by the vehicle battery tester, wherein the database is configured to store a second iteration of the battery condition information from a second test of the vehicle battery by the vehicle battery tester, and wherein the report includes advanced analytics based at least in part on both the first iteration and the second iteration of the battery condition information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a geographic indicator configured to measure a geographic index of an area in which the vehicle battery is tested, an environmental indicator configured to measure an environmental index of the area in which the vehicle battery is tested, or a combination thereof, wherein the vehicle battery tester, the server, or both contextualizes the battery condition information in view of the geographic index, the environmental index, or both to generate the report. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, comprising a communication hub configured to enable transmission of the battery condition information from the vehicle battery tester to the server. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the vehicle battery tester is configured to test a voltage of the vehicle battery, an electric current of the vehicle battery, a resistance of the vehicle battery, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The system of claim 7, wherein the communication hub comprises a Wi-Fi router or a cellular connection and the battery condition information is wireless transmitted from the vehicle battery tester to the server. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the server is a local based server. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the server is a cloud based server. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the server is configured to transmit the report via an e-mail to the consumer, via a text, Short Message Service (SMS), or other phone-based message to the consumer, via a social media post or message to the consumer, or via a combination thereof. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the vehicle battery tester or a data entry device of the system is configured to receive contact information of the consumer to facilitate transmittal of the report from the server to the consumer. ### Claim 14 A method of reporting vehicle battery information to an owner of a vehicle battery, comprising: testing the vehicle battery, via a battery tester, for at least one condition of the vehicle battery; determining a geographic index factor, an environmental index factor, an equipment bias factor, or a combination thereof; determining an adjusted performance metric for the vehicle battery, wherein the adjusted performance metric comprises an adjustment for the geographic index factor, the environmental index factor, the equipment bias factor, or the combination thereof; generating a report of the vehicle battery having at least the adjusted performance metric; transmitting, from the battery tester to a server, the at least one condition of the vehicle battery, the report of the vehicle battery, or both; transmitting, from the server to a consumer, the report of the vehicle battery. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein generating the report of the vehicle battery having at least the adjusted performance metric comprises generating the report via the server. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, wherein the server is a cloud based server. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, comprising testing the vehicle battery at a first time and at a second time, wherein generating the report having at least the adjusted performance metric comprises generating at least one advanced analytic. ### Claim 18 A battery report transmission system, comprising: a server configured to receive at least one battery test result of a battery of a consumer, to receive a preferred type of communication of the consumer, to generate a battery test report based at least in part on the at least one battery test result of the battery, and to transmit the battery test report to the consumer via the preferred type of communication of the consumer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The battery report transmission system of claim 18, wherein the preferred type of communication of the consumer comprises a computer based message. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The battery report transmission system of claim 18, wherein the server is configured to store the at least one battery test result corresponding with a first battery test and at least one second battery test result corresponding with a second battery test. ### Claim 21 (depends on 20) The battery report transmission system of claim 20, wherein the server is configured to generate at least one advanced analytic based on the at least one battery test result and the at least one second battery test result. ### Claim 22 (depends on 18) The battery report transmission system of claim 18, comprising a battery tester configured to test the battery and to transmit the at least one battery test result to the server. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The battery report transmission system of claim 22, wherein the battery tester is configured to generate a portion of the battery test report.
