Abstract

An information handling system operating a BMU controller may include a rechargeable battery, a BMU controller to determine battery charge percentage value, a memory device for storage of an internal data record indicating a first power-on setting, and the controller operatively coupled to the memory memory device and the rechargeable battery. The controller executing machine-readable executable code instructions to determine that the main memory contains no internal data record indicating a first power-on event and to limit the voltage received by the rechargeable battery such that percentage value of the charge of the rechargeable battery does not exceed a set percentage value charge limit during storage and shipment of the information handling system. The controller also receiving machine-readable executable code instructions operable to record an internal data record in the memory device indicating a first power-on event when the processor and main memory of the information handling system are next powered on from an off state and upon storing the internal data record indicating a first power-on setting to remove the set percentage value charge limit and allow the rechargeable battery to charge to full capacity.
