Battery carriers that provide replaceable and exchangeable batteries and systems are provided. One example battery carrier is for batteries used in electric vehicles. The battery carrier includes a housing having a plurality of slots, and each of the slots is configured to receive a battery that is configured for hand-insertion and hand-removal from the battery carrier. Each slot and each battery has a form factor that is dimensioned to at least partially fit within ones of the slots. A plurality of electrical connectors is also provided. Each electrical connector is disposed inside respective ones of the slots and each electrical connector is configured to mate with an electrical connector of the battery when present in a slot of the plurality of slots and each electrical connector is configured to provide power transfer between a power source to which the battery carrier is connected and a battery when present in one of the slots. Further provided is electronics integrated with the battery carrier. The electronics include communications logic for connecting to a network and logic for communicating with batteries when present in slots of the battery carrier to identify a level of charge. The communications logic is configured to communicate with a server that obtains information regarding the level of charge of batteries present in the battery carrier. The server is configured to process requests from user accounts to find batteries having availability for use by an electric vehicle. The server is configured to enable reservation for at least one battery of the battery carrier via a user account.
