System and method for battery selection

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle system having a system having a number of loads defining a load profile;
• a validated battery comprising one or more batteries which can fulfill the load profile;
• an integrated battery selected from the validated battery, the integrated battery selected for longevity relative to other batteries;
• wherein the validated battery is provided within the vehicle.

A battery selector comprising:

• a plurality of battery factors;
• a plurality of electrical load factors;
• a plurality of cycling or crank data;
• an output;
• wherein the output comprises a battery selection based on the plurality of battery factors, plurality of electrical load factors, and the plurality of cycling or crank data.

A battery selector comprising:

• a battery simulator having:
• a plurality of battery factors;
• a plurality of electrical load factors, wherein the electrical load factors comprise driver factors and environmental factors, wherein the driver factors comprise driving patterns and driving context;
• a plurality of cycling or crank data;
• the battery simulator configured to use the plurality of battery factors, the plurality of electrical load factors, and the plurality of cycling or crank data to create a vehicle simulation and performance analysis of the battery;
• and
• an output based on the vehicle simulation and performance analysis, the output comprising a battery recommendation or feedback to a user regarding battery longevity.
