System and method for battery calibration in portable computing devices
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- initiating a calibration state of a battery status system, the calibration state including, charging a battery to a first threshold value;
discharging the battery to a second threshold value; and
calibrating the battery status system based on the first and second threshold values; and
exiting the calibration state.

Abstract
Described is a method which includes a step of initiating a calibration state of a battery status system. The calibration state including charging a battery to a first threshold value; discharging the battery to a second threshold value; and calibrating the battery status system based on the first and second threshold values. Subsequently, the method includes a step of exiting the calibration state. Described is also a portable computing device which includes invades a battery; a controller; and an application executed on the controller for performing calibration of a battery status system of the battery. The application drives the battery to a threshold state and performs the calibration when the battery reaches the threshold state.
