System including a rechargeable battery pack for continuously providing power to a cellular radio system not yet connected to the electrical grid

A system comprising:

• a rechargeable battery pack configured to continuously provide a requisite power to a specified electrical load, associated with at least one cellular radio system, for a predetermined time period, wherein the predetermined time period includes at least a time period between a request to an electricity supplier for a connection to an electrical grid for providing the requisite power to the specified load and a fulfillment of the request for the connection to the electrical grid;
• a standby battery pack configured to power the specified electrical load when the rechargeable battery pack is not providing the requisite power to the specified electrical load;
• a first power source configurable to charge the rechargeable battery pack;
• a power management system coupled to the rechargeable battery pack, the standby battery pack, and the first power source, wherein the power management system is configured to:
• (1) automatically configure either the rechargeable battery pack or the standby battery pack to provide the requisite power to the specified electrical load, and (2) automatically reconfigure the rechargeable battery pack to function as a backup power source to the at least the first power source once the first power source is configured to provide the requisite power to the specified electrical load via the connection to the electrical grid;
• and
• a monitoring system coupled to the power management system, wherein the rechargeable battery pack comprises at least one replaceable battery, and wherein the monitoring system is configured to monitor a status of the at least one replaceable battery.
