Abstract: A method and circuit for avoiding a low voltage shutdown in a portable device due to a low voltage falsely indicating a discharged battery employs an input current sensing circuit to determine when a high current is being drawn by the portable device. When the portable device is drawing a high current from the battery, the shutdown function is at least temporarily suppressed. If, during the high current event, the battery behavior indicates that it is actually near fully discharged, the shutdown functionality can be enabled to shut down the portable device.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for charging primary battery-powered devices and battery-powered accessories tethered to the primary devices are disclosed. The two devices may include batteries of different types having different nominal voltages. A processing unit on the primary device may obtain state-of-charge information and other operating parameters of the batteries and may determine when to provide power to the accessory to charge its battery. The primary device may select its own battery, power provided by a charger to which it is coupled, or conditioned power as the source of charging energy provided to the accessory to charge its battery. Processing units on the two devices may adjust charging parameters to perform energy balancing while the batteries are simultaneously charged, based on operating parameters of the batteries, operating contexts of the devices, a charging prioritization scheme, or a current distribution scheme.
