Abstract
An electronic device includes an M number of charging units, a battery pack including an N number of batteries, and an N number of voltage sensors. A method for charging and managing power of the electronic device includes determining an X number of charging units from the M number of charging units for charging the battery pack, detecting a voltage of the N number of batteries, selecting at least one battery from the N number of batteries as a first target battery, and controlling the X number of charging units to charge the first target battery. M, N, and X are positive integers and X is less than or equal to M.
Claims10
An electronic device comprising:
- an M number of charging units;
- a battery pack comprising an N number of batteries;
- an N number of voltage sensors;
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
- determine an X number of charging units from the M number of charging units for charging the battery pack, wherein M, N, and X are positive integers and X is less than or equal to M;
- detect, using the voltage sensors, a voltage of the N number of batteries;
- select at least one battery from the N number of batteries as a first target battery;
- and
- control the X number of charging units to charge the first target battery.
