1. A battery system for a vehicle, the battery system comprising:
a battery management system adapted to:
obtain battery data comprising multiple of state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), and discharge profile data related to a battery module or a cell of the battery module;
determine a storage temperature and time before an initial charge range of the battery module or cell of the battery module is/are degraded; and
transmit to either or both of a user of the vehicle and a storer of the battery module or cell of the battery module at least one of the following: the determined storage temperature and time, whether a current temperature is a predetermined amount above/below the determined storage temperature, whether a current time exceeds the determined storage time by a predetermined amount, an impact of the current temperature on the initial charge range of the battery module or cell of the battery module, an impact of a current time on the determined storage temperature, and an impact of the current temperature on the determined storage time.
