1. A system for managing a battery pack, the system comprising:
a detection unit in communication with the battery pack, the detection unit including a plurality of sensors configured to detect operational, mechanical and status parameters of the battery pack;
a battery management unit (BMU) in communication with the detection unit and a user device, wherein the BMU is configured to:
determine the operational, mechanical and status parameters of the battery pack based on received data from the detection unit; and
scan for an authenticated communication link; and
a server in communication with the BMU, wherein the server is configured to:
periodically receive the data pertaining to at least the operational, mechanical or status parameters of the battery pack from the BMU in response to establishing the authenticated communication link with the BMU;
compare the received data with trained operational, mechanical and status parameters; and
instruct the BMU to perform at least one action in response to a determination of at least the received operational, mechanical or status parameters deviating from the trained operational, mechanical or status parameters of the battery pack based on the comparison;
wherein the server instructs the BMU to perform the action, and the action comprises:
balancing one or more cells of the battery pack for a time period determined by the server in response to an operation voltage of the one or more cells being below a trained operational voltage of the battery pack;
activating a back-up charge quotient of the battery pack to assist a user to reach a charging station in response to a battery charge level fallen below a critical level;
immobilizing the battery pack in response to a user's instruction or based on determination of the battery pack being located in an unknown territory; or
configuring the battery pack to adapt to an ambient temperature range from a trained operating temperature range in response to determination of a location of the battery pack shifting to the unknown territory from an operating territory.
