According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprising a housing; a first printed circuit board disposed in the housing; a second printed circuit board disposed in the housing; a battery disposed between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board; a connection member disposed along one side surface of the battery, and electrically connecting the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board; a protection circuit module disposed along the one side surface of the battery and over the connection member; and a first flexible printed circuit board disposed adjacent to the protection circuit module and connected with the first printed circuit board or the second printed circuit board.

Electronic device including battery

Various embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic device for diagnosing a battery, and the electronic device may include a battery; and a power management module operatively connected with the battery, and including a charging circuit which controls charge of the battery, wherein the power management module is configured to monitor a charge state of the battery, if the battery reaches a first designated state, identify a time taken to change from the first designated state to a second designated state, and determine whether the battery is abnormal, based at least in part on the identified time. Other various embodiments are possible.

Electronic device and method for diagnosing battery thereof

According to various embodiments of the present invention, an electronic device may comprise a battery, a power management module, and a processor. The processor may be configured to: acquire power for battery charging from a source outside the electronic device through the power management module, charge the battery at a designated current value by using the power, check charging state information based on charging time and battery capacity according to charging in a designated charging state measurement interval after the charging is started, and when the charging state information satisfies a given condition, perform a designated operation associated with the battery. Various other embodiments are also possible.

Device and method for controlling charging on basis of battery charging or discharging time

An electronic device for preventing misrecognition by a proximity sensor is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a proximity sensor disposed under the display, at least one processor operatively connected with the display and the proximity sensor, and a memory operatively connected with the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to in response to the display being turned on, detect a light entering the proximity sensor by using the proximity sensor, calibrate a reference range, based on a characteristic of the entering light, and identify whether an external object is close to the electronic device, based on the calibrated reference range.

Electronic device and method for preventing misrecognition by proximity sensor according to burn-in

An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a radio signal receiving circuit configured to receive a radio signal, a battery, a charging circuit, and a processor. The processor implements the method, including determining a communication quality of the radio signal when the radio signal is received through the radio signal receiving circuit, while the charging circuit is charging the battery, selecting a charging method and set a charging current of the charging circuit for the battery, based on the determined communication quality, and controlling the charging circuit to charge the battery using the selected charging method and the set charging current.
