Abstract

Example implementations include obtaining charging power from a power source, obtaining a charging command, activating a trickle current to a battery, entering a first charging state in response to a condition that a voltage of the battery does not satisfy a deep discharge threshold, and entering a second charging state in response to a condition that a voltage of the battery satisfies a deep discharge threshold. Example implementations can further include supplying the trickle current in a burst to the battery in response to a condition that the voltage of the battery does not satisfy a fuel gauge threshold, upon entering the second charging state. Example implementations can further include supplying the trickle current continuously to the battery in response to a condition that the voltage of the battery satisfies the fuel gauge threshold, upon entering the second charging state.
