Battery charging termination parameter based on previous charging session duration
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of charging a battery, the method comprising:
- charging the battery during a first charging session until a first charging termination parameter value is reached, the first charging termination parameter value being a value other than time;
determining a duration of the first charging session;
determining, for a second charging session, a second charging termination parameter value based on the determined duration of the first charging session, wherein the second charging termination parameter value is different than the first charging termination parameter value, the second charging termination parameter value being a value other than time; and
charging the battery during the second charging session until the second charging termination parameter value is reached.

Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for a method of charging a battery. In an example, the method includes charging the battery during a first charging session until a first charging termination parameter value is reached. The method also includes determining, for a second charging session, a second charging termination parameter value based on a duration of the first charging session, wherein the second charging termination parameter value is different than the first charging termination parameter value. The method also includes charging the battery during the second charging session until the second charging termination parameter value is reached.
