BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
[002] Selector circuits are typically utilized in a power supply block for various electronic devices. Such selector circuits are generally designed to select between a DC power source, e.g., an AC/DC adapter, and a rechargeable battery. Such selector circuits are not designed to make selections of two or more types of batteries for operation. In addition, in various electronic devices like a laptop computer, such selector circuits are typically controlled via control signals communicated via a System Management Bus (SM Bus) according to a specified protocol. Such selector circuits typically cannot independently ascertain, correct, and notify other components in the power supply block, and are not configured to accept control signals from an associated host power management unit.

It is clear that an electric vehicle totally depends on the source of energy from a battery. However, the amount of energy supplied to the vehicle is decreasing gradually that leads to the performance degradation. This is a major concern for battery manufacture. In this work, the idea of monitoring the performance of the vehicle using IoT techniques is proposed, so that the monitoring can be done directly. The proposed IoT-based battery monitoring system is consists of two major parts i) monitoring device and ii) user interface. Based on experimental results, the system is capable to detect degraded battery performance and sends notification messages to the user for further action.
