    Abstract: An electronic system may include a charging device and an electronic device. The charging device may include an input port, a charge circuit, a storage, and a connector device. The charging device may receive a direct current (DC) voltage at the input port. The charge circuit may receive the DC voltage and provide a charged voltage to the storage. The electronic device may include a body, a battery, a first pad directly on the battery and a second pad directly on the battery. The battery may receive the DC charged voltage when the electronic device is coupled to the charging device.

    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for extending cycle-life of a battery cell, where the apparatus comprises: a monitor to monitor a rate of degradation of a battery cell overtime; a comparator to compare the rate of degradation with a threshold; and logic to adjust one or more charge parameters of the battery cell when the rate of degradation crosses the threshold. Described is a method which comprises: monitoring a rate of degradation of a battery cell overtime; comparing the rate of degradation with a threshold; and adjusting one or more charge parameters of the battery cell when the rate of degradation crosses the threshold. Described is a machine-readable storage media having machine executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, causes one or more processors to perform the method described above.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may pertain to determining the level of charge needed in a rechargeable battery for a battery-powered object, to assure the battery will have sufficient charge to complete an anticipated task, but not so much charge as to shorten the life of the battery unnecessarily. Various anticipated demands on the battery may be considered in determining the level of charge. Various sources of information may be used to determine these anticipated demands. The demands and sources may be manually input and/or automatically retrieved.
