Battery coupled radio frequency identity (RFID)

A battery system. The battery system comprises an electric battery and a radio frequency identity (RFID) chip. The electric battery comprises an internal metal plate and an exterior package skin. The RFID chip is retained by the exterior package skin of the electric battery and comprises a non-transitory memory, a processor, a radio transceiver coupled to the processor, an antenna, a first impedance matching component coupling the radio transceiver to the antenna, and a second impedance matching component coupling the internal metal plate of the electric battery to the radio transceiver, wherein the radio transceiver is configured to transmit radio frequency signals through the second impedance matching component to the internal metal plate and the internal metal plate is configured to radiate the radio frequency signals as radio waves.
