1. An arrangement comprising:
a transmission line having an elongated shape and operative as an antenna; and
a plurality of electric battery cell modules positioned along a length of the transmission line, each electric battery cell module comprising at least one electric battery cell and a module antenna separated from the transmission line by a separation;
wherein the separation is selected to provide an electromagnetic coupling strength between the transmission line and each module antenna sufficient to enable near-field radio wave data communication between the transmission line and each electric battery cell module, wherein the provided electromagnetic coupling strength is below an electromagnetic coupling strength threshold determined for the plurality of electric battery cell modules positioned along the transmission line, the electromagnetic coupling strength threshold corresponding to a determined as an electromagnetic coupling strength causing that causes the near-field radio wave data communication between the transmission line and at least one of the plurality of electric battery cell modules being positioned along the transmission line to be compromised.
