Original Abstract Submitted

A method of analyzing a state of an exchangeable battery pack to make a determination of a remaining lifetime of an exchangeable battery pack more efficient includes an SoC determination step during which an SoC value of the exchangeable battery pack is determined, an SoH determination step during which a SoH value of the exchangeable battery pack is determined, and a remaining lifetime calculation step during which a remaining lifetime of the exchangeable battery pack is calculated taking into account the SoC value and the SoH value.
