1. A method for reduced data handling in a battery monitoring system, comprising:

  • receiving, at a battery monitor communicatively coupled to a plurality of battery cells, data representative of a voltage of each of the plurality of battery cells;

    determining, by the battery monitor based on the data, at least one of

         1) a minimum value of the battery cell voltages,

         2) a maximum value of the battery cell voltages, or

         3) an average value of the battery cell voltages; and

    sending, by the battery monitor to a processing device, response data including at least one of

         1) the minimum value,

         2) the maximum value, or

         3) the average value, wherein the response data further includes some but not all of the battery cell voltages.
