Abstract
A charging method includes detecting a system power, confirming that a hybrid power operation is executed when the system power is not less than a preset power and a hybrid power mechanism is turned on, forcibly disabling a timing operation when the hybrid power operation is executed, confirming that a charging operation is executed when the system power is less than the preset power and the hybrid power mechanism is turned on, starting the timing operation to accumulate a charging time when starting to execute the charging operation, and forcibly stopping the charging operation when the charging time is longer than a preset time.
Claims14
A charging method, comprising:
- detecting a system power;
- confirming that a hybrid power operation is executed when the system power is not less than a preset power and a hybrid power mechanism is turned on;
- forcibly disabling a timing operation when the hybrid power operation is executed;
- confirming that a charging operation is executed when the system power is less than the preset power;
- starting the timing operation to accumulate a charging time when starting to execute the charging operation;
- and
- forcibly stopping the charging operation when the charging time is longer than a preset time.
An electronic device with hybrid power, comprising:
- a system circuit, having a system power;
- a charging and discharging circuit, connected to the system circuit;
- a power connector, connected to the charging and discharging circuit and adapted to receive an external power supply;
- and
- at least one battery, connected to the charging and discharging circuit, each battery having an electricity;
- a timer;
- and
- a controller, connected to the system circuit, the charging and discharging circuit, and the timer, the controller having a hybrid power mechanism, wherein the controller is configured to confirm that the charging and discharging circuit has executed a hybrid power operation when the system power is not less than a preset power and the hybrid power mechanism is turned on, and to forcibly stop the timer.
