1. A vehicle battery associated with a vehicle battery device, the vehicle battery having a first battery terminal, a second battery terminal, one or more cells, a management system (MS) and a circuit element in communication with the MS, the first battery terminal being electrically coupled to at least a first cell of the one or more cells, the second battery terminal being electrically coupled to at least a second cell of the one or more cells, the circuit element being electrically coupled to the first battery terminal and the second battery terminal, the MS comprising processing circuitry configured to:
determine a digital asset associated with the vehicle battery based on at least one of a first identifier and a second identifier, the first identifier being publicly ascertainable and associated to a discrete vehicle battery, the first identifier representing the vehicle battery being uniquely distinct from first identifiers of other vehicle batteries, the second identifier being ascertainable by conformance with a security protocol, the digital asset defining one or more life cycle attributes (LCAs) of the vehicle battery;
determine, based on the digital asset, information associated with a battery as a service (BAAS) program and a confirmation corresponding to one or more export validations and one or more import validations of the vehicle battery; and
trigger the circuit element to enable or disable the vehicle battery based on the first identifier, the second identifier, the digital asset, and the information, enabling the vehicle battery includes causing the vehicle battery to provide power via the first battery terminal and second battery terminal, and disabling the vehicle battery includes preventing the vehicle battery from providing power via the first battery terminal and the second battery terminal.
