Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 16:
17. A power system comprising:
a battery storing power at a native voltage, the native voltage having a highest value at a full charge state of the battery, the native voltage decreasing as the battery discharges below the full charge state;
a secondary board configured to couple to an information handling system housing first portion and having a charger and an embedded controller, the secondary board directly interfaced with the battery to accept power at the native voltage, the charger charging the battery at the native voltage, the embedded controller managing application of power to components of the information handling system; and
a main board configured to couple to the information handling system housing second portion and having a central processing unit and memory, the central processing unit operating at a system voltage, the main board directly interfaced to the secondary board with a cable, the cable communicating power from the secondary board to the main board at the native voltage, the main board dividing the native voltage by at least a factor of five to the system voltage;
wherein the main board reduces the native voltage by numerical factors that are based on battery native voltage level changes over time.
