1. A battery monitoring network, comprising:
a vehicle battery comprising a plurality of battery cells and configured to power components of a vehicle;
a battery monitoring system integrated within the vehicle battery, wherein the battery monitoring system comprises:
a diagnostic system configured to monitor one or more operational parameters of each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells and to determine one or more battery parameters of the vehicle battery based on the one or more operational parameters of the each battery cell; and
a transmitter configured to transmit data indicative of the one or more battery parameters to a user's cellular phone, wherein the user's cellular phone is configured to transmit the data to an Internet-connected remote server via a cellular network; and
a cloud-based computing network comprising the Internet-connected remote server configured to
receive the data indicative of the one or more battery parameters from the transmitter via the user's cellular phone, the cellular network, and the Internet,
determine an end of life of the vehicle battery based, at least in part, on the one or more battery parameters, and
in response to determining that the end of life of the vehicle battery is less than a predetermined value, send a notification to the user's cellular phone via the Internet and the cellular network, wherein the notification indicates the determined end of life of the vehicle battery.
