Abstract
A fraction of the battery energy is kept in reserve during operational use of a battery-powered apparatus. The motor of the apparatus is switched off when the battery has discharged to the level of this reserve fraction. The reserve is made available again for operational use when the user has recharged the apparatus for a little while. This approach 5 simulates a super fast charging operation.
