Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling transitions between a low power mode of operation and a functional mode of operation of a battery system use power provided by the battery cell in the battery system to cause the transitions. The battery system includes a status circuit, a charge/discharge circuit, a set of battery ports, and/or other components. During the low power mode of operation, at least the charge/discharge circuit is rendered inoperative, thus saving power.
