This application is directed to adaptively powering of a power loss protection (PLP) capacitor of an electronic device. The electronic device includes a load interface, the PLP capacitor, a PLP circuit, a capacitance measurement component, and a controller. The load interface is configured to supply an operating supply voltage to a load. The PLP capacitor is configured to store electric energy provided to power the load when a primary power source is unavailable, and the PLP circuit is configured to charge the PLP capacitor to a first supply voltage and store the electric energy when a primary power source of the load is available. The capacitance measurement component is configured to generate capacitance data indicating a capacitance of the PLP capacitor. The controller is configured to control charging of the PLP capacitor and adjust the first supply voltage of the PLP capacitor based on the capacitance of the PLP capacitor.
