    摘要: A system for, and method of, determining a condition of a battery and telecommunications equipment incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a load controller, having a memory, that couples a load of a known magnitude to the battery and (2) a voltage monitor, coupled to the load controller, that measures voltages of the battery at first and second times and provides the voltages to the load controller, the load controller comparing a slope defined by the voltages to a model stored in the memory and regarding the battery to determine a condition thereof.

    摘要: The current draw of a wireless device, e.g., a cordless telephone, is minimized for a cradled remote handset drawing power from an AC outlet. This allows a greater portion of the total current amperage provided by the AC to DC converter to be allowed to charge the battery in the remote unit, and reduces the overall maximum or peak value of the current draw of the wireless device. With an improved peak power budget, a smaller (and presumably less expensive) AC to DC adapter than otherwise necessary may be used to power the wireless device. In one aspect, sniff operations of the remote handset are disabled or otherwise suppressed while the remote handset is in the cradle of the base unit, e.g., receiving a quick charge or trickle charge to its battery. In a second aspect, sniff operations of the base unit are disabled or otherwise suppressed while the remote handset is in the cradle of the base unit. In a last aspect, the charging mode of the battery in the remote handset of a wireless device changes based on activity in the remote handset.
