1. A method of controlling charging parameters of a battery comprising:

  • providing a first charging parameter set and a second charging parameter set;

    determining whether the battery is being charged;

    sensing a battery temperature;

    comparing the sensed battery temperature to a first temperature range;

    incrementing a first count when the sensed battery temperature falls within the first temperature range and incrementing a second count when the sensed battery temperature falls outside the first temperature range;

    comparing the first and second count to a reference count;

    resetting the first count when the second count is greater than the reference count and resetting the second count when the first count is greater than the reference count; and

    selecting the first charging parameter set when the first count is greater than the reference count and selecting the second charging parameter set when the second count is greater than the reference count.
