Smart Battery
First Claim
1. A smart battery comprising:
- a casing with a positive terminal and a negative terminal;
at least one processor positioned within the casing; and
one or more computer-readable storage media positioned within the casing and having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the at least one processor, cause the smart battery to perform operations including;
receiving configuration data from a remote device;
configuring an operational parameter of the smart battery based on the configuration data; and
performing an action to affect operation of the smart battery based on the operational parameter.

Abstract
Techniques for a smart battery are described. In at least some implementations, a smart battery includes internal components that enable the smart battery to perform various actions, such as communicating with a remote device, tracking power usage, controlling power output, and so forth. In at least some implementations, a smart battery includes in internal charge circuit that enables the smart battery to be recharged via an externally-supplied charging current without damaging internal components of the smart battery. In at least some implementations, a battery application enables operational parameters of a smart battery to be configured by a remote device.
