Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A device comprising:
a power storage device;
an electrical load;
a first circuit for generating, during a first time period and using electrical energy received from a power source external to the device, a first power signal to charge the power storage device; and
a second circuit for:
determining a charging current at which to charge the power storage device;
determining a total amount of current flowing to the power storage device that includes current sourced by the second circuit less current sinked by the electrical load; and
generating, during a second time period that is non-overlapping with the first time period, using electrical energy received from the power source and based on the determined total amount of current, a second power signal to charge the power storage device at the determined charging current.
