ADJUSTING A CHARGING RATE OF A BATTERY OF AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17660779 Titled 'ADJUSTING A CHARGING RATE OF A BATTERY OF AN INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for adjusting the charging rate of a battery in an information handling system. The method involves determining the amount of time the battery has been fully charged and connected to a power source, comparing this time with a predetermined threshold, and if the time exceeds the threshold, decreasing the charging voltage of the battery and continuing to charge it at the lower voltage level.


Original Abstract Submitted

Adjusting a charging rate of battery of an information handling system, the method comprising: determining, at a first time, a first accumulation of time over a first time period that i) a state of charge (SOC) of the battery indicates that the battery is fully charged and that ii) the battery is connected to a power source; comparing the first accumulation of time with a time threshold; determining, based on the comparing, that the first accumulation of time is greater than the time threshold, and in response: decreasing a charging voltage of the battery from a nominal level to a first decreased level; charging the battery based on the charging voltage having the first decreased level;
