Abstract: An information handling system includes a battery, an embedded controller, and a processor. The embedded controller collects a battery charge status for the battery, and provides the battery charge status to the processor.

The processor also determines a needed battery charge level at a start of the period of time. Based on the battery charge status, the current battery discharge rate, the second battery discharge rate, and the needed battery charge level, the processor sets the information handling system in a state to achieve the battery charge level.
