  • Multiple Statuses:

    • Charged (ready to use)
    • Discharged (requires charging)
    • In storage (optimal charge level for long-term storage)
    • Out of service (battery to be recycled)
  • Voltage Recording: Document voltage levels at different stages to monitor battery health.

  • Cycle Counter: Automatic tracking of the number of charge/discharge cycles for each battery.

  • Usage History: View the complete history of status changes and usage.

  • Lifespan Estimation: Calculation of remaining lifespan based on the number of cycles and performance.
