Abstract
A remaining capacity of a battery correcting method outputs the remaining capacity with calculating to an electronic device which change into hibernation when the remaining capacity becomes lower than a hibernation changeover capacity. The method of correcting battery remaining capacity decreases the remaining capacity with a first gradient after corrected to the hibernation changeover capacity, when the remaining capacity at decreasing to 0% detecting voltage is higher than the hibernation changeover capacity. In addition, when the remaining capacity at decreasing to 0% detecting voltage is lower than the hibernation changeover capacity, the remaining capacity is decreased with a second gradient.

A method of correcting battery remaining capacity for outputting the remaining capacity with calculating to an electronic device which change into hibernation when the remaining capacity of the battery becomes lower than a hibernation changeover capacity, the method comprising the steps of:
- decreasing the remaining capacity with a first gradient after correcting the remaining capacity to the hibernation changeover capacity when the remaining capacity at decreasing to 0% detecting voltage is higher than the hibernation changeover capacity,
- decreasing the remaining capacity with a second gradient when the remaining capacity at decreasing to 0% detecting voltage is lower than the hibernation changeover capacity.
