System and method for information handling system battery monitoring

摘要

Information handling system battery monitoring tracks battery usage for warranty coverage. A timer state machine running on the battery tracks time expired from initiation of a warranty period, such as the first non-manufacture boot of the information handling system or detection of a new battery interfaced with the information handling system. The expired warranty period and a unique identifier stored on the battery are communicated by a battery manager running on the information handling system to battery warranty site. The manufacturer of the information handling system applies the expired warranty period and unique identifier to determine warranty coverage for the battery.
