Apparatus and method to provide dynamic battery charging voltage

A non-transitory machine-readable media having instructions stored thereon, that when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• periodically check a capacity of a battery when the battery is charged at a preset voltage;
• determine whether the capacity provides a backup reserve and a burst power reserve together, wherein the backup reserve is to act as a backup power source for a computing system and the burst power reserve is to increase an operating speed of the computing system in a burst power mode of the computing system;
• when the capacity of the battery does not provide the backup reserve and the burst power reserve together, increase a charging voltage for the battery to a point where the charging voltage reaches a limit;
• and
• modify or deploy a policy for the battery when it is determined that the charging voltage reaches the limit, wherein the policy is to keep the burst power reserve and reduce the backup reserve.

A system, comprising:

• a battery system;
• a processor coupled to the battery system;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory includes instructions which the processor is to execute to:
• periodically check a capacity of a battery of the battery system when the battery is charged at a preset voltage, wherein the battery has a backup reserve, a burst power reserve, and an unused capacity;
• determine whether the capacity of the battery does not provide the backup reserve and burst power reserve together;
• if the capacity of the battery does not provide the backup reserve and burst power reserve together, increase a charging voltage for the battery until the charging voltage reaches a limit;
• and
• when the charging voltage reaches the limit, keep the backup reserve and reduce the burst power reserve.
