ABSTRACT:
A smart battery provides electrical power and reports remaining capacity of the battery. A disparity between the calculated remaining capacity and the actual capacity of the smart battery is calibrated through a maximum power consumption mode. Specifically, a maximum power consumption mode is set, the battery is discharged until a battery capacity learning level is reached, the battery capacity is determined, and the system is then set to a minimum power consumption mode. Power management function is disabled prior to the latter process, and enabled after the process is completed.
