Abstract: A battery protection system applicable to an electronic device includes a battery, a control module, a message generating module and an input interface. The control module is electrically connected to the battery for detecting if the battery is in an abnormal state. The message generating module is electrically connected to the control module for generating a battery-error warning message when the control module detects that the battery is in the abnormal state. The input interface is electrically connected to the control module for transmitting a user command to the control module after the battery-error warning message is generated, thereby enabling the control module to release the abnormal state of the battery according to the user command. A battery protection method is also provided.

Abstract: A portable computer and a charging method thereof are provided. The portable computer includes a charge integrated circuit (IC), a basic input/output system (BIOS) and embedded controller (EC), a south bridge chip, a north bridge chip and a central processing unit (CPU). After the portable computer is connected to a battery, the BIOS and EC controls the south bridge chip to read a sealed security bit of the battery and checks whether the sealed security bit equals a default value. The BIOS and EC controls the south bridge chip to read a battery data of the battery if the sealed security bit equals default value. The BIOS and EC controls the charge IC via the south bridge chip to charge the battery according to the battery data. The CPU controls the south bridge chip and the north bridge chip.

Abstract: A portable computer system including a battery, a power switch and a computer unit is provided. The battery provides a supply signal to the power switch. The computer unit includes an embedded controller (EC), a driver and a user interface device. The EC determines whether the battery satisfies a low power condition according to the supply signal. If so, the EC provides a driving supply signal. The driver determines whether the supply signal satisfies a low voltage condition according to the driving supply signal. If so, the driver triggers an alert event. The user interface device triggers a user notification event according to the alert event. The power switch is further turned on/off in response to an operation event for respectively providing the supply signal to power the computer unit and put the computer unit in a power cut-off state.
