Abstract
An example of the disclosed printer including a load controller in communication with a processor and a smart battery. The processor communicates with the smart battery via a message requesting a state of charge value for the battery and receives a response message from the battery that includes a representation of the state of charge value. Upon receipt of the state of charge value, the processor determines a relationship between the state of charge value and a state of charge threshold, and transmits a signal to the load controller to change an operating state of the battery when the state of charge value is beyond the state of charge threshold.
