Abstract: Controlling power output is provided. A processing circuit that is incorporated with a battery receives a schedule that identifies at least one interval value, wherein the battery has a form factor that complies with a form factor standard. The processing circuit determines a first power state based, at least in part, on a first interval value of the at least one interval value. The processing circuit determines, based, at least in part, on the first power state, whether to interrupt a power output of the battery and, if so, the processing circuit interrupts the power output of the battery.

Abstract: A device including a system for preventing moisture damage to the device includes a processor and a module operable on the processor for monitoring for a predetermined capacitance criterion on a surface of the device. The device is automatically powered off in response to detecting the predetermined capacitance criterion.
