A signal-analysis-based process for detecting and correcting power feeds is provided. The process includes obtaining voltage waveform data for power feeds connected to a system, and determining for the power feeds, using the obtained voltage waveform data, at least one respective signal characteristic. Further, the process includes comparing the respective signal characteristics of the power feeds to ascertain at least one signal characteristic difference between the power feeds. Based on the at least one signal characteristic difference not exceeding at least one respective difference limit, the process determines that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds connected to the system, and based on determining that the power feeds are not separately-sourced redundant power feeds, the process initiates a corrective action to ensure that the system is connected to separately-sourced redundant power feeds.

Facilitating separately-sourced redundant power feeds to a system

In an approach for selecting a battery charging rate, a processor, responsive to an electronic device with a rechargeable battery being connected to a battery charging device, identifies a current battery status of the rechargeable battery. A processor determines a disconnect time of the battery charging device. A processor determines a charge level required. A processor determines a charging profile based on the current battery status, the disconnect time of battery charging device, and the charge level required. A processor sends the charging profile to the battery charging device.
