BATTERY CHARGING DEVICE WITH CHARGING PROFILE DATA UPDATE FACILITY
First Claim
1. An electronic assembly, comprising:
- a first connector including a first set of terminals physically and operationally compliant with a data transmission connector standard and a second set of terminals distinct from the first set of terminals physically compliant and operationally non-compliant with said data transmission connector standard; and
an electronic controller in electrical communication with said first connector, said controller including a memory device configured to store configuration data used by the controller to control a first electronic device in electrical communication with the controller, wherein the second set of terminals are configured to receive new configuration data to update the configuration data stored in the memory device.

Abstract
An electronic assembly including a first connector having a first set of terminals physically and operationally compliant with a data transmission connector standard, such as USB 2.0, and a second set of terminals distinct from the first set of terminals physically compliant and operationally non-compliant with this data transmission connector standard. An electronic controller is connected to the first connector. The controller includes a memory device to store configuration data, such as a battery charging profile, used by the controller to control a first electronic device, such as a battery charging device. The second set of terminals receive new configuration data to update the configuration data stored in the memory device. The assembly may include a specially configured data cable to interconnect the assembly to a separate electronic device to transmit the updated configuration data. The assembly may reduce the current supplied for battery charging by monitoring a battery voltage.
