A battery-charging system configured to charge a battery of a device to a nominal voltage includes a load-detection circuit, memory storing controller-executable instructions, and a controller configured to execute the instructions, which cause the controller to detect a load coupled to the battery above a first threshold load using the load-detection circuit, and control the battery-charging circuit to charge the battery to a high voltage in response to detecting the load above the first threshold load, wherein the high voltage is above the nominal voltage. The controller can be configured to execute other instructions, such as outputting a notification that the battery is being charged to a high voltage and/or controlling the battery-charging circuit to discharge the battery in response to detecting a reduced load or a user command.

Method to enhance the life of a lithium battery

Aspects of the disclosure include a power device having a first input configured to be coupled to a main power source, a second input configured to be coupled to a back-up power source, an output configured to be coupled to a load, the load being configured to perform a procedure, and at least one controller configured to determine a required energy for the load to perform the procedure, estimate an amount of available energy predicted to be available to the power device during the procedure, the available energy being derived from at least the back-up power source, determine whether the amount of available energy predicted to be available is equal to or greater than the required energy, and prevent power from being provided at the output responsive to determining that the amount of available energy predicted to be available is less than the required energy.
