ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus powered by a battery and an external power supply, comprises a power supply circuit which comprises a temperature sensor and converts power obtained from the external power supply and supplies a first charge current to the battery, and a controller which supplies a current to the battery with a second charge current smaller than the first charge current if a temperature received from the temperature sensor has exceeded a threshold, and supplies the current to the battery with the first charge current if both the temperature received from the temperature sensor and a battery level have exceeded corresponding thresholds.
