1. An apparatus comprising:
- a battery;
a magnetic sensor is one of located adjacent to and attached to the battery; and
a state of charge module in operable communication with the magnetic sensor, the state of charge module being configured to;
subject the battery to a predetermined magnetic field such that the battery and the state of charge module jointly create a resultant magnetic field; and
to detect an electromagnetic response to the predetermined magnetic field.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for determining a state of charge of a battery. The battery is subjected to a predetermined magnetic field such that the battery and the predetermined magnetic field jointly create a resultant magnetic field. The resultant magnetic field is sensed. The state of charge of the battery is determined based on the resultant magnetic field.
