A method of controlling charging of a rechargeable battery to obtain a determined desired state of battery charge, a computer program product and charge control unit operable to perform that method. The method comprises:
assessing an indicator of state of battery charge to determine current battery charge; determining the desired state of battery charge at a predetermined point in an expected battery load pattern;
receiving an indication of an operational characteristic of an available charge source per time slot to charge the rechargeable battery until the predetermined point; calculating in which of the time slots to charge the battery in order to charge the rechargeable battery to the desired state of battery charge by the predetermined point in the expected battery load pattern to optimise a charging characteristic to the predetermined point. Aspects aim to sallow a device to run continuously, subject to configured parameters, to optimise a configurable charging characteristic. |
