A power management method for electro-chemical batteries in low capacity state is provided, including: obtaining battery information based on device hardware, to know in advance the maximum allowable current and maximum allowable power when the battery power is low; by detecting the changes in the voltage versus current, updating BCC curve; using BCC curve as power budget to control the ON/OFF of device function thread; and determining whether the minimum battery capacity and the control restriction are reached, and when the minimum battery capacity and the control restriction are reached, turn off the battery through normal shutdown process; otherwise, return to the step of obtaining battery information.
A power management method, applicable to for electro-chemical batteries of a electronic device in a low capacity state of a discharging process, the electronic device able to running a plurality of function threads, at least one electro-chemical battery having a minimum battery capacity, comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium for storing one or more programs, the one or more programs causing a processing unit to perform:
An apparatus for power management, comprising a processing unit and a memory, the processing unit being configured to perform:
A chip for power management, comprising one or more integrated circuits, the one or more integrated circuits being configured to process:
