Apparatus, method and article for providing vehicle diagnostic data
First Claim
1. A system for operating a portable electrical energy storage device collection, charging and distribution machine comprising:
- at least one computer processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory coupled to the at least one computer processor, wherein the at least one memory has computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the at least one computer processor to;
detect presence of a portable electrical energy storage device configured to provide power to a vehicle;
receive vehicle diagnostic data regarding the vehicle from the portable electrical energy storage device, wherein the vehicle diagnostic data at least includes data regarding condition or status of a vehicle system other than the portable electrical energy storage device; and
provide information from the portable electrical energy storage device collection, charging and distribution machine based on the received vehicle diagnostic data.

Abstract
A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collects, charges and distributes portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Vehicle diagnostic data of a vehicle using the portable electrical energy storage device is stored on a diagnostic data storage system of the portable electrical energy storage device during use of a respective portable electrical energy storage device by a respective vehicle. Once the user places the portable electrical energy storage device in the collection, charging and distribution machine, or comes within wireless communications range of a collection, charging and distribution machine, a connection is established between the collection, charging and distribution machine and the portable electrical energy storage device. The collection, charging and distribution machine then reads vehicle diagnostic data stored on the diagnostic data storage system of the portable electrical energy storage device and provides information regarding the diagnostic data.
