Quick conditioning memory backup battery
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for quick conditioning of a battery comprising:
- determining whether a battery has a capacity that satisfies a desired memory backup capacity; and
when the battery comprises the capacity, performing a quick conditioning cycle on the battery, the quick conditioning cycle discharging the battery to a level where remaining capacity of the battery is high enough to backup memory for a desired period of time.

Abstract
A quick conditioning cycle system to avoid performance degradation at the end of calibrating cycle. The quick conditioning cycle system discharges a battery to a level where battery remaining capacity is still high enough to backup memory at a guaranteed period of time. During the quick learning cycle, the battery pack is discharged from a full charge. If measured capacity exceeds a predetermined threshold (Cpc), calibration stops. Otherwise, the quick conditioning cycle system reports a defected battery when measured capacity is less than Cpc and continues discharging to a full conditioning cycle, if desired.
