Claims30
A method for providing battery management for a device, the device having a device battery and being electrically coupled to a device charger, comprising:
- charging the device battery to a less than full charge using the device charger;
- determining a device battery top off charge trigger associated with the device and the device battery;
- maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided;
- and
- providing the top off charge to the device battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger.
A machine readable non-transitory medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause the machine to provide battery management by:
- charging a device battery to a less than full charge using the device charger electrically coupled to a device;
- determining a device battery top off charge trigger associated with the device and the device battery;
- maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided;
- and
- providing the top off charge to the device battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger.
A device comprising:
- a device battery;
- a device charger configured to be electrically coupled to the device;
- a machine readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause the device to provide battery management by:
- charging the device battery to a less than full charge using the device charger;
- determining a device battery top off charge trigger associated with the device and the device battery;
- maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided;
- and
- providing a top off charge to the device battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger;
- and
- a processor coupled to the machine readable medium to execute the plurality of instructions.
A method for a smart charger to provide battery management for a battery coupled to the smart charger comprising:
- charging the battery to a less than full charge using the smart charger;
- determining a battery top off charge trigger associated with the battery;
- maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided;
- and
- providing a top off charge to the battery in response to the battery top off charge trigger.
A method for a device to provide battery management to a charging device electrically coupled to the device comprising:
- charging a battery of the charging device to a less than full charge using the charging device;
- determining a battery top off charge trigger associated with the charging device and the battery;
- maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided;
- and
- providing a top off charge to the battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger.
