Abstract
In a general aspect, a method can include providing an indication that the electronic device has changed from a battery charging state to a battery discharging state and measuring an initial measured state-of-charge (MSOC) value of a battery of the electronic device. In the event the initial MSOC value is above a threshold value, the method can further include determining a compensation value based on the initial MSOC value and the threshold value, determining an initial reported state of charge (RSOC) value by scaling the initial MSOC value using the compensation value and reporting the initial RSOC value using the electronic device.
