System and method to improve battery performance with cycled current transfer

摘要

A battery includes plural battery cells that output a source voltage to power a device, such as an information handling system. A controller of the battery disconnects each battery cell at a predetermined interval for a predetermined time period, such as from a range of between 15 and 60 seconds, while maintaining the source voltage. The predetermined time and interval are selected based upon the load supplied by the battery and an estimated increase in battery output efficiency.
