1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

  • a first charging terminal that is to be brought into contact with a second charging terminal of a battery charger;

    a battery that is to be charged by electric power supplied from an external power supply via the first charging terminal;

    a resistor that is arranged between the first charging terminal and a charge circuit prior to the battery; and

    a processor that measures voltage values of both ends of the resistor, calculates, based on a given resistance value and the measured voltage values of the resistor, a terminal voltage value of the second charging terminal, and an electric power consumption value of a contact portion in which the first charging terminal is brought into contact with the second charging terminal, and stops charging the battery when the electric power consumption value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.
