Abstract
An information handling system may include a main processor, a battery, multiple temperature sensors for obtaining temperature values associated with the battery, a processor, and memory media accessible to the processor. The memory media may store instructions executable by the processor for receiving a respective temperature value from each of the temperature sensors and calculating a battery temperature distribution value dependent on the received temperature values, including determining a difference between two temperature values. The instructions may be further executable for determining a respective value for each of one or more battery control parameters dependent on the battery temperature distribution value, and setting each of the battery control parameters to the determined value. Determining the control parameters values may be further dependent on the rate of change of the difference between the two temperature values, or on whether the received temperatures or the temperature difference lie outside a predetermined range.
