1. A system for using unrecoverable energy in a battery cell, the system comprising:
a battery cell comprising an electrode with excess material;
a sensor connected to the battery cell, the sensor configured to detect battery data;
a controller communicatively connected to the sensor, the controller configured to:
receive battery data from the sensor;
transmit the battery data to a user;
receive a command from the user; and
utilize unrecoverable energy in the battery cell as a function of the command from the user.
