Abstract
The US Army has been pursuing the development of a Smart Battery as part of its on-going efforts for reducing operation and maintenance costs of the Army's ground vehicles. This effort has revealed that the smart battery has a much broader significance beyond that of an operations and maintenance cost reduction exercise. The smart battery is creating a new way of defining what a battery is. The use of smart batteries has a direct bearing on vehicle readiness and enabling system-wide power management.
