The present disclosure relates to methods and associated systems for operating a battery exchange station. The present technology (1) receives battery information from a memory attached to each of a plurality of exchangeable batteries positioned in the battery exchange station; (2) receives a battery demand prediction associated with the battery exchange station; and (3) identifying one or more uninterruptible-power-supply (UPS) batteries from the plurality of exchangeable batteries at least partially based in part on the battery demand prediction and individual state of charges (SoCs) of the plurality of exchangeable batteries.

Systems and methods for managing batteries in a battery exchange station

A two-way distribution, charging, and vending system permits a subscriber to exchange one or more partially or completely discharged portable electric energy storage devices for a comparable number of charged portable electric energy storage devices. The two-way distribution, charging, and vending system includes a number of charging modules, each with a dedicated power converter, communicably coupled to at least one two-way distribution system controller and to a power distribution grid. Upon receipt of a discharged portable electric energy storage device, the at least one two-way distribution system controller validates a manufacturer identifier and a subscriber identifier stored in a nontransitory storage media carried by the discharged portable electric energy storage device. Responsive to a successful authentication and validation, the at least one two-way distribution system controller dispenses a charged portable electric energy storage device to the subscriber.
