Abstract
A method, an apparatus and a mobile device estimate remaining time required to fully charge a battery. The method may include (a) determining from one or more of the mobile device's charging records the time required for charging the battery of the mobile device by one unit of charge (“unit charging time”); and (b) based on the time so determined, calculating the remaining time required for fully charging the mobile device's battery. In this manner, an accurate estimate of the remaining charging time is achieved. In one instance, the charging record includes the initial charge (A) in the battery, expressed as a percentage of the full capacity, the final charge (B) in the battery at the end of the charging, also expressed as a percentage of full capacity, and the total charging time required (T). Each unit of charge may be, for example, 1% of the full charge of the battery.
