US 9,620,987 B2 · System and method for a dynamically configurable power distribution control and management system

Abstract

A dynamically configurable battery management system includes a controller system with a first processor connected to a first memory and a first wireless transceiver connected to a wireless packet network. A battery system with a second processor is connected to a second memory and a second wireless transceiver connected to the wireless packet network. One or more batteries are connected to the battery system, and the connected batteries include a battery pack. A sensor that is connected to the battery system generates a data stream that is stored in the second memory. The data stream allows for establishing a battery capability and status unique to each battery in the battery pack. The stored data stream is stored as a battery record with a universal unique identifier.
