I think a truly smart
charger would require smart batteries that have a very small amount

batteries identifying their last couple of charge cycles, with
date/time info. as well as design capacity and recent capacity.
That would allow the chargers to easily handle temporary loss A.C.
power during the charger cycle and also let you know when it might
be approaching the time to replace the batteries.

I would have thought the actual performance of the cell would be the
better indicator for determining replacement.
