INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM BATTERY CHARGE ARBITRATION FACTORING ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND ENERGY SOURCE

A battery charge agent stored in non-transitory memory and executing on an information handling system processing resource, such as a system charger, sets a minimum battery charge state based on energy parameters that include a carbon footprint for an external power source so that the battery discharges when external power carbon footprint is relatively high and charges when external power carbon footprint is relatively low. The minimum battery charge state is varied based upon anticipated battery use, anticipated location, anticipated power source carbon footprint characteristics and other factors.
