Abstract
A rechargeable battery module includes a battery cell, a load detector, a temperature sensor, a power consumption classifier and a battery charging controller. The power consumption classifier classifies a power consumption of the battery cell based on the load detected by the load detector and the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor. The battery charging controller collects a series of classified results output from the power consumption classifier to control a charging rate of the battery cell accordingly.
