US 2018/0321730 A1 · METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE BATTERY CHARGING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF

Abstract

A method for adaptive battery charging and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. The present disclosure relates to a battery system for electronic devices and more particularly to the rate of charging of batteries in electronic devices. The method and apparatus are directed to dynamically determining the charging rate of a battery of an electronic device, based on factors such as user profile, usage, age of battery, etc. The method discloses determining at least one charging rate for a battery, determining at least one model representing an effect of degradation of the battery and a charging time for at least one charging mechanism, determining charging profiles over a cycle life of the battery based on the at least one model, and applying the charging profiles to the battery.
