1. An apparatus for charging of a battery in a portable terminal, the apparatus comprising:
- a charge management unit configured to determine a predefined charge threshold value and a battery voltage, compare the battery voltage with the threshold value, and determine if the battery voltage is suitable for normal operation of the portable terminal; and
a controller configured, if it is determined by the charge management unit that the battery voltage is not suitable for normal operation, to send a power supply request to an external device.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for charging of a battery in a portable terminal. The apparatus includes a charge management unit and a controller. The charge management unit determines a predefined charge threshold value and a battery voltage, compares the battery voltage with the threshold value, and determines if the battery voltage is suitable for normal operation of the portable terminal. If it is determined by the charge management unit that the battery voltage is not suitable for normal operation, the controller sends a power supply request to an external device.
