Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A method for dynamically switching between a plurality of battery charging profiles, the method comprising:
detecting discharge current from a rechargeable battery of an information handling system (IHS);
determining whether or not the IHS is coupled to an external power source; and
switching from using a first battery charging profile to using a second battery charging profile to recharge the rechargeable battery in response to one or more of the following: detecting the discharge current 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.
