Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a power interface exposed through at least a portion of the housing to be connected to an external power source in a wired manner or disposed inside the housing to be connected to the external power source in a wireless manner, at least one battery disposed inside the housing and electrically connected to the power interface, a processor disposed inside the housing and operatively connected to the power interface, and a memory disposed inside the housing and operatively connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions that, when executed, causes the processor to, in a state in which an external power is supplied through the power interface, when a voltage of the battery reaches a first voltage value, lower the voltage of the battery to a second voltage value lower than the first voltage value by discharging the battery after a first time has elapsed from a time point at which the voltage of the battery reaches the first voltage value.
