A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Availability of charged portable electrical energy storage devices available at a collection, charging and distribution machine are communicated to or acquired by a mobile device of a user or a user's vehicle. Once the mobile device of a user or a user's vehicle comes within close proximity of the collection, charging and distribution machine or within a particular area surrounding the collection, charging and distribution machine, the collection, charging and distribution machine or a collection, charging and distribution machine management system communicates an alert (e.g., over a cellular network, short range wireless signal or wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network) to the mobile device or vehicle indicating how many portable electrical energy storage devices are available at the distribution machine.

1. A method of operating a system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices at a collection, charging and distribution machine for collection, charging and distribution of portable electrical energy storage devices, the method comprising: receivin
1. A method of operating a system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices at a collection, charging and distribution machine for collection, charging and distribution of portable electrical energy storage devices, the method comprising: receiving, by the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices, information regarding presence of a user device; andin response to the received information regarding presence of the user device, communicating to the user device, by the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices, information regarding an availability of a portable electrical energy storage device at a collection, charging and distribution machine. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the presence of the user device is within a wireless signal range of the collection, charging and distribution machine. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices is part of the collection, charging and distribution machine. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the communicating to the user device includes: sending a message from the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices to the user device over a wireless signal via a local area network to which the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices is connected. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the communicating to the user device includes communicating to the user device how many portable electrical energy storage devices are available at the collection, charging and distribution machine. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving a request originating from the user to reserve a portable electrical energy storage device available at the collection, charging and distribution machines; andin response to the request, reserving for the user an available portable electrical energy storage device at the collection, charging and distribution machine. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the available portable electrical energy storage device is reserved for a limited amount of time for the user. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the receiving the information regarding presence of the user device includes receiving the information regarding presence of the user device based on global positioning system data associated with a current location of the user device. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the information regarding the availability of the portable electrical energy storage device includes information regarding a type of portable electrical energy storage device and an associated price for the user to obtain the type of portable electrical energy storage device. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the information regarding the availability of the portable electrical energy storage device is communicated to the user device in response to a request from the user device. 11. The method of claim 1 further comprising: communicating to the user device information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices at one or more of a plurality of collection, charging and distribution machines within a particular distance from the user device. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the user device is a wireless mobile device. 13. A system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices at a collection, charging and distribution machine for collection, charging and distribution of portable electrical energy storage devices comprising: at least one processor of the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices; andat least one processor-readable memory of the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices that stores instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to: cause a user device to emit a wireless signal from a user device; andin response to the emission of the wireless signal, receive a communication at the user device including information regarding an availability of a portable electrical energy storage device at a collection, charging and distribution machine. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the communication is a short message service communication received over a wireless connection to a local area network. 15. The system of claim 13 wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to further cause the at least one processor to: cause an indication of a number of portable electrical energy storage devices available at the collection, charging and distribution machine to be displayed on the user device. 16. The system of claim 15 wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to further cause the at least one processor to: cause an indication to be displayed on a displayed map, the indication indicative of whether a portable electrical energy storage device is available at the collection, charging and distribution machine. 17. The system of claim 13 wherein the communication including information regarding an availability of a portable electrical energy storage device is received from the collection, charging and distribution machine. 18. The system of claim 13 wherein the communication including information regarding an availability of a portable electrical energy storage device is received from the collection, charging and distribution machine via a collection, charging and distribution machine management system remote from the collection, charging and distribution machine. 19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that when executed by a system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices at a collection, charging and distribution machine for collection, charging and distribution of portable electrical energy storage devices, cause the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices to perform: receiving an indication of selection by a user of a user interface element representing an available portable electrical energy storage device to reserve the available portable electrical energy storage device; andcommunicating the selection to reserve the available portable electrical energy storage device at a collection, charging and distribution machine. 20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 wherein the instructions further cause the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices to perform: communicating a confirmation that the available portable electrical energy storage device has been reserved. 21. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 wherein the instructions further cause the system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices to perform: receiving an advertisement regarding an available portable electrical energy storage device within a particular range of a user device; anddisplaying the advertisement on the user device.
