1. A battery, comprising:
- a battery monitoring system integrated within the battery, wherein the battery monitoring system comprises;
a diagnostic system configured to monitor or store at least one parameter of the battery;
a receiver communicatively coupled to the diagnostic system; and
a transmitter communicatively coupled to the diagnostic system, and configured to activate upon receipt of a first wireless signal by the receiver and to transmit a second wireless signal indicative of the at least one parameter of the battery;
wherein the at least one parameter of the battery comprises a time, a voltage, a temperature, or a current; and
wherein the time corresponds to a time after manufacture of the battery, and the diagnostic system is configured to activate the diagnostic system after the time passes a threshold value.
