ABSTRACT:
A battery monitoring network including a battery node (6); one or more distributed nodes of a first class (4) each including means for acquiring first battery variable information, processing means adapted to manipulate the first battery variable information, and a communication means for communicating with a battery node; and one or more distributed nodes of a second class (5) each including means for acquiring second battery variable information, processing means adapted to manipulate the second battery variable information, and a communication means for communicating with the battery node.
