1. A reusable battery indicator comprising:

  • a voltage sensor configured to convert sensed analog characteristics of a battery to digital information;

    a communication circuit communicatively connected to the voltage sensor;

    an antenna operatively coupled to the communication circuit; and

    a connection mechanism having a first connector and a retainer, the first connector and the retainer being electrically connected to the voltage sensor and the first connector and the retainer both being located at the same end of the reusable battery indicator, the first connector being adapted to be removably connected to a first battery terminal, thereby providing an electrical connection between the voltage sensor and the first battery terminal when the first connector is connected to the first battery terminal, and the retainer being adapted to removably secure the voltage sensor to a can of a battery, thereby providing an electrical connection between the voltage sensor and the can of the battery, the retainer comprising a plurality of retainer tabs that extend away from the first connector,wherein an electrical circuit is completed between the voltage sensor and the first battery terminal and between the voltage sensor and the can when the connection mechanism is coupled to the first battery terminal and to the can.
