1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a battery;
a memory configured to store at least one condition for controlling a charging speed of the battery in charging the battery; and
a controller configured to;
when a charging of the battery starts, estimate a charging stop time at which the battery will stop being charged by a user based on the condition, andcontrol the charging speed of the battery to complete the charging of the battery before a charging start time of the battery reaches the estimated charging stop time,wherein the controller is further configured to;
when the charging of the battery starts, estimate a battery charging completed time, andcontrol the charging speed of the battery according to a difference between the estimated battery charging stop time and the estimated battery charging completed time with reference to the battery charging start time.

15. A method of controlling a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
-
estimating, via a controller of the mobile terminal, a charging stop time at which a battery of the mobile terminal will stop being charged by a user based on at least one condition preset for controlling a charging speed of the battery when a charging of the battery starts; controlling, via the controller, the charging speed of the battery to complete the charging of the battery before a charging start time of the battery reaches the estimated charging stop time; estimating, via the controller, a battery charging completed time when the charging of the battery starts; and controlling, via the controller, the charging speed of the battery according to a difference between the estimated battery charging stop time and the estimated battery charging completed time with reference to the battery charging start time. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
