Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to one or more memories in a rechargeable battery includes a switching circuit that connects the memory to a device data contact, and disconnects the memory from a charger data contact, when the rechargeable battery is connected only to a device powered by a battery. The switching circuit, however, connects the memory to the charger data contact and disconnects it from the device data contact. In some embodiments a second memory that contains a subset of the data in the first memory is connected to the device data contact when the first memory is connected to the charger data contact.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to a logic circuit in a battery by one or more components connected to the battery includes the components initially providing no voltage to a data contact, and sampling a voltage level at the data contact to determine if another component is presently connected to the logic circuit. When the sampled voltage indicates no other component is presently accessing the logic circuit, the component applies a voltage to the logic circuit via the data contact and access the logic circuit. When the sampled voltage indicates that a prior-connected component is connected to the battery, the component uses a voltage level provided by the prior-connected component to access the logic circuit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining whether to enable a functionality of a battery powered device upon connection to a battery is embodied by providing at least one voltage threshold in a memory of the battery that corresponds to a usable operating range limit of the battery and that is accessible by the battery powered device. Upon connection to the battery, the battery powered device acquires the voltage threshold or thresholds from the battery and programs itself with the threshold or thresholds. The battery powered device then compares a voltage of the battery to the threshold or threshold to determine whether the enable the functionality.
