Claim 0:
1. A method for determining the state of health of a battery by monitoring charging of said battery over multiple charging instances, comprising a charging station implementing steps of:
recognizing the battery via a unique identifier;
charging the battery;
monitoring conditions of the battery during charging, said conditions including at least one of a voltage supplied to the battery, a current supplied to the battery and a temperature of the battery;
storing data related to the current charging instance based at least partially on the monitored conditions;
retrieving data related to at least one earlier charging instance of the uniquely identified battery; and
making, during charging of the battery, a determination of the uniquely identified battery's state of health based at least partially on a comparison of the data related to the current charging instance and the retrieved data related to at least one earlier charging instance.
