An electronic device supplies power to system load(s) from a first battery power source and a second battery power source connected in series across a re-configurable device section boundary. A battery monitor monitors voltage across each individual battery cell within the first and second battery power sources. The battery monitor directs a charge circuit as to how and when to charge the first and second battery power sources using an external power source. The battery monitor also directs the charge circuit as to how and when to use the first and second battery power sources to power the system load(s).

Series battery discharge management across a device section boundary

A device for controlling battery operation includes a battery cell, a thermal cutoff, and a battery management system. The thermal cutoff is coupled in series between the battery cell and a system load of the device. The thermal cutoff has at least three terminals. A first terminal of the thermal cutoff is electrically-coupled to the battery cell and a second terminal of the thermal cutoff is electrically-coupled to the system load. The thermal cutoff includes a permanent failure mechanism having an open state and closed state wherein the closed state allows electrical communication between the first terminal and the second terminal. The battery management system is electrically-coupled to a third terminal of the thermal cutoff. The permanent failure mechanism permanently switches to the open state in response to an electrical signal from the battery management system.

System and method for thermal cutoff protection device control from an external component

A Battery Management System (BMS) for an electronic device with bidirectional communication between The BMS and an Operating System (OS) of the electronic device for generating a charging pattern of charging the battery of the electronic device according to information received from the operating system.

Apparatus and method for battery management

Disclosed is an electronic device including a battery, a charging circuit configured to charge the battery, a measurement circuit configured to measure a state of the battery, and a processor configured to be electrically connected with the battery, the charging circuit, and the measurement circuit, to charge the battery using the charging circuit set by a first charging parameter, determine state information corresponding to a state of the battery based on data associated with the state of the battery obtained using the measurement circuit, determine a second charging parameter for reducing loss of a capacity of the battery based on the state information, and charge the battery using the charging circuit set by the second charging parameter.

Electronic device for changing charging parameter depending on state of battery and control method thereof

A method of determining a temperature of a component in an electronic device includes obtaining a posture of the electronic device, selecting a first temperature sensor from a plurality of temperature sensors based on the obtained posture, obtaining a first measured temperature from the first temperature sensor, determining the temperature of the component based on the first measured temperature from the first temperature sensor, and in accordance with the determined temperature meeting one or more criteria, adjusting performance of the component.

System and method for adaptive thermal management of battery packs

A system and method directed for a dispenser designed to have interchangeable components including a reservoir base for holding a liquid with an ergonomic handle, a detachable applicator compartment for holding an applicator, and a removable top cover and hook for hanging or for storage purposes.
