1. A power management system, comprising:
- a power monitor configured to monitor power draw by an electronic device; and
a power management module configured to determine a power draw limit for operating the electronic device by a power source, the power management module configured to control use of power-consuming elements of the electronic device based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit power draw by the electronic device from the power source to the power draw limit.

Abstract
A power management system comprises a power management module configured to determine a power draw limit for operating an electronic device by a power source, the power management module configured to control use of power-consuming elements of the electronic device based on a prioritization of the power-consuming elements to limit a power draw by the electronic device from the power source to the power draw limit.
