ABSTRACT:
An electronic equipment is provided that includes a battery, function circuitry that carries out one or more functions using power drawn from the battery, and a power assessment circuit that assesses power requirements of the function circuitry in relation to a function specified to be performed from among the one or more functions. The electronic equipment further includes a battery monitor circuit that monitors power available from the battery, and a battery advisor circuit, operatively coupled to the power assessment circuit and the battery monitor circuit. The battery advisor provides a recommendation indicative of whether the power available from the battery is sufficient for the function circuitry to carry out the specified function.
