Abstract
An electronic device includes a processor coupled to a battery and to determine whether the battery is being charged or discharged. If the battery being is being discharged, the processor operates to calculate an amount by which the battery has discharged since a preceding calculation of remaining capacity of the battery, compensate the amount by which the battery has discharged for a condition of the battery, and calculate a remaining capacity of the battery as a function of the amount by which the battery has discharged. If the battery is being charged, the processor operates to calculate an amount by which the battery has charged since a preceding calculation of remaining capacity of the battery, compensate the amount by which the battery has charged for a condition of the battery, and calculate the remaining capacity of the battery as a function of the amount by which the battery has charged.
