Abstract
A fleet management system for vehicles and batteries at a geographical location may include vehicle identification devices each associated with a corresponding vehicle at the geographical location. The system may also include wireless battery monitors at the geographical location associated with the batteries. Each of the wireless battery monitors may be configured to, when the associated battery is connected to a vehicle, during a discharge cycle, communicate with the vehicle identification device associated with the vehicle to collect a vehicle identifier associated with the vehicle identification device, and store battery activity records for the associated battery along with the vehicle identifier. The system may also include a fleet management cloud server configured to remotely collect the battery activity records and process the battery activity records to determine vehicle utilization for each vehicle based upon a corresponding vehicle identifier and battery utilization for each battery across the vehicles and batteries.
