Abstract
A wireless communication device () and method () adapted to prolong the useful life of an energy storage device is disclosed. In its simplest form, it can include: determining () a limit temperature discharge energy rate of an energy storage device; sensing () a temperature range threshold in proximity to the energy storage device; and adjusting () a discharge energy rate in response to the determined limit temperature discharge energy rate () and sensed temperature range threshold (). The device () and method () can automatically and dynamically manage current drain of an energy storage device when a certain temperature range threshold is reached, to maintain the energy storage device within desired specifications and tolerances. This can prolong the useful life of the energy storage device and help to maintain a maximum recharging capacity.
