Claim 0:
1. A system for automatically detecting when a battery changeout occurs, said system comprising:
a) an input device;
b) a neural net trained to identify when said battery changeout occurs based on data from a battery monitor and to distinguish between a changeout due to a premature failure of said battery or a scheduled changeout of said battery;
c) an output device;
d) a digital processor; and
e) a permanent memory comprising computer readable instructions to physically cause said digital processor to perform the steps:
i) read in by said input device, battery data from said battery monitor monitoring a battery wherein said battery data is read in once per about a data period;
ii) format said battery data as a battery data point;
iii) store said battery data point as an element of a battery data vector of N elements wherein said battery data vector additionally comprises N−1 prior sequential battery data points, and wherein said battery data vector includes at least one battery data point corresponding to a time before said battery changeout has occurred and at least one battery data point corresponding to a time after said battery changeout has occurred;
iv) read said battery data vector into said neural net;
v) format by said neural net, an output vector of N elements wherein said output vector indicates when said battery changeout has occurred; and
vi) output by said output device said indication of when said battery changeout has occurred and an indication of a changeout cause corresponding to one of said changeout due to a premature failure or said scheduled changeout.
