    Abstract: A method of connecting a main device (e.g., vehicle or tool) to a server via a battery module that powers the main device. The battery module includes a battery stack, a processing unit, a memory, a first interface for communicating with a wireless network, and a second interface for establishing a data transfer connection to the main device. The method comprises establishing a wireless connection to the server via the first interface, identifying the battery module to the server using the wireless connection, establishing a data transfer connection to the main device via the second interface, receiving an identifier of the main device using the data transfer connection, and identifying the main device to the server using the wireless network connection. After connection and authentication is carried out, the battery module may receive battery supply configuration data and sensor data configuration for the main device from the server.

    Abstract: A server device is provided, the server device comprising a processing circuitry, a memory circuitry, an interface circuitry configured to connect to a communication network. The server device is configured to obtain machine data indicative of one or more features of a machine. The machine is configured to be powered by a battery device. The server device is configured to obtain usage data indicative of a usage of the machine. The server device is configured to obtain, for one or more battery devices, battery data indicative of one or more battery parameters of a battery device. The server device is configured to determine, for the one or more battery devices, a predicted impact on the one or more battery parameters based on the battery data, the usage data, and the machine data.
