Original Abstract Submitted
The present document describes techniques associated with right-to-repair battery-replacement methodologies and applications thereof. These techniques include detecting a replacement battery in an electronic device (a new battery or the same battery reinstalled), authenticating the replacement battery, and monitoring battery characterization and health of the replacement battery. Using these techniques fulfills sustainability and right-to-repair options, aligning with customer rights and government regulations. Further, these techniques enable replacement of an embedded battery in a user's device and detection that the replacement battery was installed and is safe for use by the device. A battery health monitor may be implemented on the device to monitor the health of the replacement battery. In some aspects, the battery health monitor may be a subscription-based service implemented via an application executed on the device or via a system-level application.
