A battery with an embedded battery management system is disclosed. The battery management system facilitates various advantages including monitoring the operational characteristics of individual battery cells, performing passive and/or active cell balancing, calculating the remaining life of the battery, and providing a warning if the battery is near the end of its life. The embedded battery management system also facilitates making battery parameters available externally, interfacing with smart charging systems, and enabling the battery management system to control the smart charging system, for example by making desired charge requests. The embedded battery management system includes non-volatile memory that stores algorithms for implementing different functions of the battery management system.
