System and method for a mission-based battery status display for electric vehicles

A system for displaying operating data for a re-chargeable multi-battery pack for an electric vehicle, comprising:

• a re-chargeable multi-battery pack for powering components of the electric vehicle, where the multi-battery pack comprises a plurality of individual re-chargeable batteries;
• a sensor that detects a present level of charge in each battery;
• and
• a display that receives the present level of charge of each battery from the sensor, and shows,
• the present level of charge in each battery,
• a required endurance level for the multi-battery pack, where the required level of endurance is based on a planned operational parameter for the vehicle,
• a minimum total charge level for the multi-battery pack that meets the required endurance level of the battery, and
• an amount of re-charge time for each battery to achieve the minimum total charge level for the multi-battery pack.
