Electronic device including battery and method of controlling charging thereof

An electronic device, comprising:

• a battery;
• and
• at least one processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• identify whether an external power source for charging the battery is connected to the electronic device,
• identify a voltage of the battery when connection of the external power source is identified,
• determine a charge start time based on time when the connection of the external power source is identified,
• determine a charge end time based on situation information related to the electronic device,
• identify whether the voltage of the battery is smaller than a designated charge stop voltage when a difference between the charge start time and the charge end time satisfies a designated threshold, and
• divide a period between the charge start time and the charge end time into a first charge section, a charge stop section and a second charge section based on the designated charge stop voltage when the voltage of the battery is smaller than the designated charge stop voltage and perform charging of the battery based on the divided period.

A method of controlling charging of an electronic device comprising a battery, the method comprising:

• identifying whether an external power source for charging the battery is connected to the electronic device;
• identifying a voltage of the battery when connection of the external power source is identified;
• determining a charge start time based on time when the connection of the external power source is identified;
• determining a charge end time based on situation information related to the electronic device;
• determining a charge stop time of the battery based on the charge start time, the charge end time and the voltage of the battery when a difference between the charge start time and the charge end time satisfies a designated threshold;
• and
• dividing a period between the charge start time and the charge end time into a first charge section, a charge stop section and a second charge section based on the charge stop time and performing charging of the battery based on the divided period.
