Method for controlling operation of battery on basis of state thereof, and electronic device for supporting same

A method for controlling an operation of a battery by an electronic device, the method comprising:

• acquiring a first signal related to whether the battery is connected to a battery connector, from a battery detection circuit configured to detect whether the battery is connected to the battery connector comprising multiple terminals;
• determining whether the battery is connected to the battery connector, based at least partly on the first signal;
• acquiring a second signal indicating whether the battery ID terminal is short-circuited to the ground, from a short-circuit detection circuit configured to detect whether a battery identification (ID) terminal among the multiple terminals is short-circuited to a ground, based at least partly on a level of a voltage measured at the battery ID terminal and a predetermined voltage level;
• based at least in part on the first and second signals, determining whether:
• the battery is not connected;
• the battery is properly connected;
• or
• the battery is improperly connected;
• and
• controlling an operation of the battery based at least partly on determining whether the battery is not connected, the battery is properly connected, or the battery is improperly connected.

An electronic device comprising:

• a battery connector comprising multiple terminals;
• a battery detection circuit configured to detect whether a battery is connected to the battery connector;
• a short-circuit detection circuit configured to detect whether a battery identification (ID) terminal among the multiple terminals is short-circuited to a ground, based at least partly on a level of a voltage measured at the battery ID terminal and a predetermined voltage level;
• and
• a processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• acquire, from the battery detection circuit, a first signal related to whether the battery is connected to the battery connector;
• acquire, from the short-circuit detection circuit, a second signal related to whether the battery ID terminal is short to the ground;
• determine based at least in part on the first and second signals, whether:
• the battery is not connected;
• the battery is properly connected;
• or
• the battery is improperly connected;
• and
• control an operation of the battery based at least partly on the determination.
