TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING CHARGING OF BATTERIES

A method is provided, including: (a) providing an initial charging current to a battery; (b) receiving state information about the battery, including: (1) a temperature, (2) a load profile, and (3) a power loss temporal profile including power loss durations and timings of power failure events; (c) determining, based on the state information, a modification, including: (1) in response to detecting that (i) the temperature exceeds a first upper threshold or (ii) the load profile exceeds a second upper threshold, setting the modification to be a decrease in the charging current; and (2) in response to (iii) detecting that the load profile is below a lower threshold or (iv) predicting that the battery won't reach a full charge by a next expected power failure event if the initial charging current is maintained, setting the modification to be an increase in the charging current; and (d) in response to determining the modification, adjusting the charging current provided to the battery based on the determined modification.
