Abstract: A method for improved electronic device performance provides for sampling a power consumption parameter for a device throughout a time interval in which an increased load transient is observed and for dynamically calculating one or more exponential weighted moving averages (EWMAs) based on the power consumption parameter responsive to each sampling. The method further provides for increasing a maximum discharge rate of the battery to a discharge rate limit associated with a select maximum level of multiple predefined discharge rate levels and then incrementally decreasing the maximum discharge rate of the battery from the discharge rate limit of the select maximum level to one or more lower discharge rate limits associated with progressively lower levels of the multiple predefined discharge rate levels.
