NOVELTY - The method involves receiving information regarding a user device by a system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices (106a-106z). Information regarding availability of the portable electrical energy storage device at a collection and distribution machine (102) is made to communicate with the user device by the system for providing information regarding availability of the portable electrical energy storage devices in response to the received information regarding the user device.    USE - Method for operating a system for providing information regarding availability of portable electrical energy storage devices e.g. secondary batteries and ultracapacitors, of personal transportation vehicles such as combustion engine powered scooters and/or motorbikes, at a collection and distribution machine for collection and distribution of the portable electrical energy storage devices in transportation and non-transportation applications.    ADVANTAGE - The method enables providing the system to quickly alert users for availability of charged portable electrical energy storage devices at collection, charging and distribution machines in close proximity to the user. The method enables enhancing ability to depend on the system and commercial success of effort. The method enables providing ability for users to select and reserve the portable electrical energy storage devices at the collection, charging and distribution machine.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a portable electrical energy storage device reservation stem.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of a collection charging and distribution machine along with electrical power storage devices along with electric scooter or motorbike and electrical service provided through an electrical grid.
