Abstract
A delayed power-on function for an electronic device is disclosed. A charging unit charges a rechargeable battery with a pre-charge current when a voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than a voltage threshold value and with a current larger than the pre-charge current when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is greater than the voltage threshold value. A disabling unit can disable power-on when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than the voltage threshold value. A user may also be notified when power-on is disabled.

1-19. (canceled)
An electronic device comprising:
- a battery;
- a disabling unit operable to disable power-on of the electronic device when a voltage of the battery is less than a first voltage threshold value;
- and
- a notifying unit operable to provide a power-on disabled notification, if the power-on is disabled.
A method for charging an electronic device, the method comprising:
- disabling power-on of the electronic device when a voltage of a battery of the electronic device is less than a first voltage threshold value;
- and
- providing a power-on disabled notification, if the power-on is disabled.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for an electronic device, the computer-readable medium storing computer-executable program code that when executed performs a method for charging an electronic device, the method comprising:
- disabling power-on of the electronic device when a voltage of a battery of the electronic device is less than a first voltage threshold value;
- and
- providing a power-on disabled notification, if the power-on is disabled.
