1. A battery system, comprising:

  • (a) a battery;

    (b) a monitoring circuit including a memory that stores a unique identification of the battery and at least a selected one of a battery temperature sensor and a smoke detector that monitors at least one operational parameter associated with the battery;

    (c) a wireless communication device, disposed on the battery and in data communication with the monitoring circuit, that transmits the real time operational parameter data sensed by the selected one of the battery temperature sensor and the smoke detector; and

    (d) a remote wireless communication unit in wireless data communication with the wireless communication device that receives the operational parameter data therefrom;

    (e) a processor that receives the operational parameter data from the remote wireless communication unit and that is configured to analyze the battery,wherein the processor calculates a number of remaining coulombs that can be expended by the battery until a next charge will be required for the battery, andwherein the computer is configured to cause the remote wireless communication unit to transmit a signal that causes the battery to be disconnected from a load when the number of remaining coulombs falls below a predetermined threshold.
