Abstract
A battery pack (150) may include one or more rechargeable battery cells (350) and processing circuitry (310). The processing circuitry (310) may be configured to control extraction of operational parameters from a device (200) to which the battery pack (150) is operably coupled and wireless communication of the operational parameters from the battery pack (150) to an access point (160). The operational parameters may include at least one parameter that is not determined based on measuring battery parameters. The device (200) is one of a plurality of different devices with which the battery pack (150) is configured to be operably coupled.
