Abstract
The invention provides an electronic device having a structure operable by the power of a battery pack. The electronic device includes: an authenticating section that authenticates a battery pack connected so as to supply power to determine whether the battery pack is a genuine product; a user interface; and a controller for controlling the electronic device. The controller tries authentication of the battery pack connected so as to supply power with the authentication section. When the battery pack has been authenticated, the discharging of the battery pack is enabled. When the battery pack has not been authenticated, the controller requests the user to input recognition whether the battery pack is a genuine product through the user interface, and changes the control for the battery pack between when the user inputs, in response to the request, the recognition that the battery pack is a genuine product and when the user inputs the recognition that the battery pack is not a genuine product.
