in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display;
receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and
in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack,
wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected battery pack, the information includes information identifying the selected battery pack.

2. A method for displaying information on a display, comprising:
receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a device of a plurality of devices associated with the display, each of the plurality of battery packs being mountable on the plurality of devices;
in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display;
receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and
in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack,
wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected battery pack, the information includes information relating to a total usage period of the selected battery pack.

3. A method for displaying information on a display, comprising:
receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a device of a plurality of devices associated with the display, each of the plurality of battery packs being mountable on the plurality of devices;
in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display;
receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and
in response to the selection of the battery pack, displaying information on the selected battery pack,
wherein, in the displaying the information on the selected battery pack, the information includes information relating to life expectancy of the selected battery pack.

4. A method for displaying information on a display, comprising:
receiving a request to display, on the display, information indicating whether each of a plurality of battery packs associated with the display, is mounted on a device of a plurality of devices associated with the display, each of the plurality of battery packs being mountable on the plurality of devices;
in response to the request, displaying, on a monitor of the display, information indicating whether or not a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs associated with the display is mounted on each device of the plurality of devices associated with the display;
receiving a selection of a battery pack from the plurality of battery packs displayed on the display; and
