Abstract

Technology is described for extending battery life for a rechargeable battery. The method can include estimating a desired energy storage for the rechargeable battery in an electronic device during an operating time period. Expected active periods for the rechargeable battery can be determined. A defined charge voltage can be computed based on the desired energy storage and expected active periods of the rechargeable battery in the electronic device. In addition, the rechargeable battery can be charged to the defined charge voltage.
