Claim 0:
1. A method of recharging a battery comprising:
receiving a user input comprising a user-defined time period, the user-defined time period signifying a start time and an end time, the start time being a first time prior to which recharging does not occur, the end time being a second time after which recharging does not occur, with a plurality of alternating charge and rest segments occurring between the start time and the end time, the charge segments being periods during which recharging current is to be applied to the battery, and the rest segments being periods during which no recharging current is to be applied to the battery;
based upon the user-defined time period, determining a recharging profile configured to mitigate heat accumulation in the battery throughout the user-defined time period, the recharging profile associated with a plurality of alternating charge and rest segments, the charge segments and rest segments alternating at least twice during the user-defined time period;
recharging the battery based upon the recharging profile; and
wherein the rest segments of the plurality of alternating segments in the recharging profile are adapted to decrease heat accumulation in the battery caused by each charge segment of the plurality of charge segments and within the user-defined time period to increase battery longevity.
