Battery charge leakage monitor

A method comprising:

• initiating a battery leakage test by taking one or more actions to place a battery within an electronic device into a state of expected zero-drain, the one or more actions including transmitting one or more control signals effective to controllably reduce a maximum load transient of system electronics to at or below a defined threshold throughout a time interval while the electronic device remains active;
• and
• detecting a battery charge leak based on a series of time-separated parameter measurements for the battery collected during the time interval.

One or more tangible computer-readable storage media of a tangible article of manufacture encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a computer system a computer process, the computer process comprising:

• initiating a battery leakage test by taking one or more actions to place a battery within an electronic device into a state of expected zero-drain, the one or more actions including transmitting one or more control signals effective to controllably reduce a maximum load transient of system electronics to at or below a defined threshold throughout a time interval while the electronic device remains active;
• and
• detecting a battery charge leak based on a series of time-separated parameter measurements for the battery collected during the time interval.
