1. A method of managing power usage of a device, comprising:
- selectively executing a work application on a plurality of the devices having rechargeable batteries, the work application corresponding to a set of tasks to be performed in a work environment by a user of the device;
generating battery usage data for a rechargeable battery in one or more of the plurality of the devices during execution of the work application, the battery usage data including battery ID information for a specific rechargeable battery in the device of the plurality of the devices and the run-time of the specific rechargeable battery for the work application being executed by the device;
storing in non-transitory memory the battery usage data for a plurality of specific battery IDs and for the plurality of the devices; and
generating an application specific battery profile associated with a specific battery ID of the plurality of specific battery IDs using the stored battery usage data, the application specific battery profile being associated with the work application being run by the device;
adjusting the application specific battery profile associated with the specific battery ID to account for the unique characteristics of the specific rechargeable battery associated with the specific battery ID, wherein the unique characteristics are determined at least in part by the age and number of usage cycles associated with the specific rechargeable battery associated with the specific battery ID;
in response to loading of the work application on the device, determining the battery ID of a replacement battery in the device and transmitting data from the application specific battery profile for that battery ID to the device.

Abstract
A method and system of managing power usage of devices including selectively executing a program application on a plurality of battery powered devices. Battery usage data is generated for a battery in one or more of the devices during execution of the work application. The battery usage data includes the run-time of the battery for the work application being executed. The data is aggregated and stored for the plurality of devices in memory. An application specific battery profile is generated using the stored battery usage data. The application specific battery profile is associated with the work application being run by the client devices.
