  • Patent number: 9041356
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, battery charge management using a scheduling application is disclosed. A first parameter may be received from a scheduling application running on a mobile computing device having a battery pack. Based on at least the first parameter and battery pack data, a required charge percentage for the battery pack may be determined and the remaining capacity of the battery pack may be determined. If the remaining capacity of the battery pack is less than the required charge percentage, a charge termination voltage may be determined and the battery pack may be charged to the charge termination voltage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7751994
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for intelligent battery safety management. Some embodiments of a method for managing battery operation may include receiving a battery pack in a device, where the battery pack is rechargeable and includes a battery cell. In some embodiments data may be collected regarding the operation of the battery cell in the device, and the collected data may be compared with a set of battery reference data. In some embodiments a determination may be made whether the battery cell is non-authentic or defective based at least in part on the comparison between the collected data and the battery reference data.

  • Publication number: 20090243549
    Abstract: A method and system for intelligent battery charging rate management. Some embodiments of a method include determining a time period available for charging a rechargeable battery from an initial charge state to a final charge state. A second time period is determined, the second time period being an amount of time required to charge the battery from the initial charge state to the final charge state using a first charging process, with the first charging process including a first current value. If the first time period is greater than the second time period, then a reduced second current value is determined that is sufficient to charge the battery to the final charge state, and the battery is charged with a current of the second current value.
