Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 1:
2. An information handling system (IHS), comprising:
a rechargeable battery including one or more battery cells;
a battery charger and power circuit coupled to receive current from an external power source and coupled to supply a charge current to the one or more battery cells for recharging the rechargeable battery in accordance with a battery charging profile when the IHS is coupled to the external power source; and
one or more processing devices configured to execute program instructions stored on a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium to switch from using a first battery charging profile to using a second battery charging profile to recharge the rechargeable battery in response to at least one of the following: detecting a discharge current from the one or more battery cells while the IHS is coupled to the external power source or determining that the discharge current is a short term supplemental power event;
wherein the first battery charging profile includes a first recharge threshold and a first charge termination threshold, wherein the second battery charging profile includes a second recharge threshold and a second charge termination threshold, and wherein the second recharge threshold is less than the first recharge threshold and the second charge termination threshold is less than the first charge termination threshold.
