Patent Images
1. A method of graduated residual battery power utilization of a long-life battery in a battery-powered device, comprising the steps of:
- a. defining at least one residual power level for the battery;
b. assigning progressively limited battery-powered device functionalities for each of the at least one power level; and
c. enabling the battery-powered device to be operated according to the at least one residual power level and the respective limited functionalitiesso as to extend the life of the battery and to avoid a depleted battery condition.
