Abstract
A battery system for monitoring a battery-operated electronic device includes one or more battery cells for operating the electronic device, an electronic processor for monitoring electrical activity of the one or more battery cells; and a wireless communication module for communicating with a remote electronic device via a network based on the electrical activity. Registration information, including a unique identity of the battery system, may be received at the remote electronic device. A first signal, including the unique identity, may be received at the remote electronic device during use of the battery system. A second signal may be transmitted from the remote electronic device to a communication device in response to receiving the first signal.
