1. A method for determining power output capacity of a power supply, the method comprising:

  • charging a battery with a first amount of current from a power supply;

    measuring a first voltage provided by the power supply when charging the battery with the first amount of current;

    determining that the first voltage is above a threshold voltage value;

    charging the battery with a second amount of current from the power supply, wherein the second amount of current is higher than the first amount of current;

    measuring a second voltage provided by the power supply when charging the battery with the second amount of current;

    determining that the second voltage is above the threshold voltage value;

    attempting to charge the battery with a third amount of current from the power supply, wherein the third amount of current is higher than the second amount of current;

    measuring a third voltage provided by the power supply when attempting to charge the battery with the third amount of current;

    determining that the third voltage is below the threshold voltage value; and

    determining the power output capacity of the power supply based at least in part on the value of the second amount of current.
