Multi-functional wireless module monitoring system in a battery management system

An apparatus including a processor and memory coupled to the processor, the memory including computer program instructions that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to carry out the operations of:

• monitoring, by the multi-functional wireless MMS, one or more attributes of a plurality of battery cells in the electric battery pack;
• generating based on the monitored one or more attributes, by the multi-functional wireless MMS, battery sensor data;
• responsive to the multi-functional wireless MMS operating in a first operational mode, transmitting via a wireless interface, by the multi-functional wireless MMS, a first set of the battery sensor data to a wireless network controller (WNC) of a battery management system (BMS);
• and
• responsive to the multi-functional wireless MMS operating in a second operational mode, transmitting via a wired interface, by the multi-functional wireless MMS, a second set of the battery sensor data.
