A scalable and manageable energy storage system and methods are disclosed. By accounting for the characteristics of an individual cell in a battery, the disclosed system and method prevents cell stress to extend the useful life span of the cell. A dynamic wiring topology allows the scalable and manageable energy storage system to directly control a load or be charged by a volatile energy source.

Scalable and manageable energy storage system and method

Exemplary embodiments include a system having a first wireless audio output device configured to connect to a source device via a first piconet and a second wireless audio output device configured to connect to the first wireless audio output device via a second piconet. A schedule of the first piconet includes a plurality of slots associated with an audio packet, a first subset of the slots used by the source device to transmit the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices tuning to the first piconet to listen for the transmissions of the audio packet, and when, after a last one of the first subset of slots, the first or second wireless audio output devices did not receive the audio packet, the first and second wireless audio output devices exchange information via the second piconet such that the both wireless audio output device receive the audio packet.
