Abstract
A computing device has an energy storage device system with one or more energy storage devices. A target run-time is obtained, which refers to how long the computing device is to run given the current amount of energy in the energy storage device(s). A predicted power usage over the target run-time is determined, and what, if any, power management actions to take in order to achieve the target run-time are determined. The power management actions are then taken. A target charge-time is also obtained, which refers to how long the computing device is to take to charge the energy storage device(s) to a threshold level (e.g., 100% or fully charged). A predicted power gain over the target charge-time is determined, and what, if any, power management actions to take in order to achieve the target charge-time are determined. The power management actions are then taken.
