Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for monitoring current consumption of various subsystems and applications and adjusting functional parameters to ensure a constant current drain from the battery. The constant current drain can be dynamically adjusted based on a predetermined amount of battery life. A user can determine the amount of battery life to be required and the system adjusts current consumption of various subsystem components and applications to provide consistent and predictable battery life.
