## Abstract

A battery monitoring system includes a vehicle processor storing battery data and a user device communicatively coupled with the vehicle processor. The user device includes data processing hardware that stores a weather application, a navigation application, and a battery monitoring application. The battery monitoring application is configured to receive the battery data from the vehicle processor and weather data from the weather application. The battery monitoring application is also configured to present a user with battery efficiency options based on the battery data and the weather data.
