Systems and methods for remotely determining a battery characteristic

A method for remotely monitoring activity of an energy storage device, comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, a wireless signal that identifies the energy storage device;
• in response to receiving the wireless signal, determining, by the computing device, a device powered by the energy storage device;
• determining, by the computing device, a depletion rate of the energy storage device;
• based on the determined depletion rate, determining, by the computing device, that the energy storage device is considered depleted;
• searching, by the computing device, a vicinity of the computing device to detect a plurality of devices powered by energy storage devices;
• identifying, from the plurality of devices, a second device associated with a depletion rate less than the determined depletion rate;
• and
• providing a user interface that presents a recommendation that the energy storage device should be utilized in the identified second device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for remotely monitoring activity of an energy storage device that stores logic that, when executed by a processor, causes a computing device to perform the following:

• receive a wireless signal that identifies the energy storage device;
• in response to receiving the wireless signal, determine a device powered by the energy storage device;
• determine a depletion rate of the energy storage device;
• based on the determined depletion rate, determine that the energy storage device is considered depleted;
• search a vicinity of the computing device to detect a plurality of devices powered by energy storage devices;
• identify, from the plurality of devices, a second device associated with a depletion rate less than the determined depletion rate;
• and
• provide a user interface that includes a recommendation that the battery should be utilized in the identified second device.
