Method and system for charge cradle lock control

An apparatus and method for operating a peer-to-peer wireless communication network among batteries. A first step includes providing a plurality of batteries with each internally housing a processor and a wireless communication transceiver. A next step includes designating one of the batteries as a master in the network, and the remaining batteries as slaves. A next step includes measuring at least one battery operating parameter for each battery by its associated processor. A next step includes peer-to-peer communicating a health indication of each battery, based on the at least one battery operating parameter, to the master that can determine which of the batteries is the healthiest, and inform a user of the healthiest batteries.
