1. A method comprising:
- detecting a resistance value of an electrical connection between a first device having a first battery and a second device having a second battery;
receiving an indication of a residual power of the second battery;
in response to the detection of the resistance value, displaying, by the first device, a power sharing interface based on the indication of the residual power of the second battery;
detecting an input to the interface specifying an amount of power for transmission;
calculating an increased capacity of the second battery based on a sum of the residual power and the specified amount of power for transmission for display in the power sharing interface; and
transmitting the specified amount of power from the first battery to the second device.

Abstract
A method is provided comprising: detecting an electrical connection between a first device having a first battery and a second device having a second battery; receiving an indication of a residual power of the second battery; displaying, by the first device, a power sharing interface based on the indication of the residual power of the second battery; detecting an input to the interface specifying a threshold amount of power; transmitting power from the first battery to the second device until the threshold amount of power is transmitted.
