Abstract
An electronic device includes a battery and a processor configured to, while maintaining a charging current at a first constant current, identify whether a charging voltage reaches a first target voltage, based on identifying that the charging voltage has reached the first target voltage, convert the charging current to a first charging current, identify whether the charging current reaches a first target current, and based on identifying that the charging current has reached the first target current, convert the charging current to a second constant current corresponding to the first target current.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a battery;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- while maintaining a charging current at a first constant current, identify whether a charging voltage reaches a first target voltage;
- based on identifying that the charging voltage has reached the first target voltage, convert the charging current to a first charging current;
- identify whether the charging current reaches a first target current;
- and
- based on identifying that the charging current has reached the first target current, convert the charging current to a second constant current corresponding to the first target current.
A method of charging a battery, the method comprising:
- identifying whether a charging voltage reaches a first target voltage while maintaining a charging current at a first constant current;
- based on identifying that the charging voltage has reached the first target voltage, converting the charging current into a first charging current;
- identifying whether the charging current reaches a first target current;
- and
- based on identifying that the charging current has reached the first target current, converting the charging current from the first charging current to a second constant current corresponding to the first target current.
