1. A method for controlling charging in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- setting an alarm which generates a wake up signal after a time period elapses when entry into a suspend mode is requested during charging of at least one battery or in a charging stop state, and entering the suspend mode;
waking up the electronic device and determining a state of the at least one battery by at least partial structural components of the electronic device when the wake up signal is generated by the set alarm in the suspend mode; and
turning on or off the charging of the at least one battery according to the determined state of the at least one battery.

10. An apparatus for controlling charging in an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a charging unit which charges at least one battery of the electronic device; a temperatures sensor which measures a temperature of the battery; an alarm unit which sets an alarm which generates a wake up signal after a preset time elapses; and a controller which activates the alarm unit and controls such that the charging unit enters a suspend mode when the charging unit requests entry into the suspend mode in an enabled state, and which wakes up at least a portion of structural components of the electronic device and determines a temperature of the at least one battery when a wake up signal is generated by the alarm unit in the suspend mode, and turns on or off the charging unit according to the determined result. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
