An energy management system for monitoring and communicating characteristics of an intelligent energy storage device is disclosed. The energy management system includes at least one pack comprising one or more batteries in an energy storage device and the components to manage and wirelessly communicate the state characteristics of those batteries. The energy storage device is connected to a Local Pack Controller (LPC) which is configured to detect a connection to a host system and automatically establish a secure wireless connection to the Host System Controller (HSC). The LPC monitors the pack state and sends the state information wirelessly to the HSC, which then broadcasts the information wirelessly to a display and/or external network. Applications include, but are not limited to, integration in a vehicle, residential, industrial, or commercial market.
