    collecting and storing data relating to the vehicle battery at a remote back-office, wherein the data collected and stored at the remote back-office is received telematically directly from the vehicle;

    determining battery status including battery state of health and a predicted battery state of charge using the collected data at the remote back-office;

    determining the likelihood of a vehicle no-start condition as a result of the battery state of health and predicted battery state of charge at the remote back-office; and

    transmitting a message through pre-set communication channels from the remote back-office to a vehicle operator identifying the vehicle no-start condition if the back-office determines that the likelihood of the vehicle no-start condition exceeds a predetermined threshold.
