ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus that is driven by a rechargeable battery, wherein the battery is depleted from a fully charged state and repeatedly charged and discharged, comprises a full charge capacity acquisition unit for acquiring a present full charge capacity of the battery which the battery has at the present time, a total charge acquiring unit for acquiring information indicating a total amount of charge provided to the battery in a time period from a start time of using the battery until the present full charge capacity is acquired, and a restoring unit for performing a battery restoration in which the battery is fully discharged or fully charged in order to recover the full charge capacity if it is determined that the present full charge capacity is smaller than an expected full charge capacity that the battery should have depending on the information.
