Disclosed is a removable vehicle battery system comprising an energy storage device configured to power a vehicle, and including a removable energy storage module that contains a store of energy. The system further includes a control unit configured to control charging and discharging of the removable energy storage module, along with a removable converter configured to convert the store of energy into a usable format for an external device, and a power outlet configured to supply energy from the store of energy to the external device in the usable format, usable by the external device when the removable energy storage module is removed from the vehicle. The system provides a communication link between the external device and any of the removable energy storage module, the removable converter, or the control unit. The communication link receives information from the external device regarding the energy format or formats it requires and communicates this to the control unit. The communication link also communicates to the control unit information regarding the quantity of energy stored in the removable energy storage module, and the formats in which the removable energy storage module can supply this energy to the external device. In response to receiving the information regarding the store of energy and the usable format, the control unit controls energy delivery from the removable energy storage module to the external device.
