1. A method of classifying and adjusting use of a battery, the method comprising:
(a) providing one or more values of one or more charge process parameters to a battery model designed or configured to characterize the battery and the one or more charge process parameters;
(b) receiving from the battery model, a battery charge process characteristic that provides a predicted effect of charging the battery under conditions indicated by the one or more charge process parameters currently applied to or to be applied to the battery; and
(c) based on the battery charge process characteristic received from the battery model, (i) adjusting a charge process used to charge the battery and/or (ii) terminating use of the battery, at least temporarily.
