Determining mean current consumption of battery-powered device involves deriving from charging/discharging cycles in measurement time, size of storage device and charging thresholds

摘要

The method involves repeatedly charging and discharging an energy storage device (C) between the energy source (3) and the electronic device (1) over a fixed period and between fixed upper and lower thresholds. The mean current consumption is derived from the number of cycles counted, the measurement time, the size of the storage device and the threshold values. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: an arrangement for determining mean current consumption of battery-powered electronic device.
