Abstract
An electronic device can include a power system including a battery and a processor programmed to: receive synchronized context data from one or more other devices associated with a user of the device, determine, at least in part based on the synchronized context data, one or more battery charging intervals, and operate the power system to charge the battery from the external power source during the identified one or more battery charging intervals. The processor can be programmed to determine the one or more battery charging intervals using a machine learning model. The synchronized context data can provide indication of the user's location. If the synchronized context data indicates that the user is at a different location than the device, the one or more battery charging intervals determined based at least in part on an expected time for the user to return to the location of the device.
