<p>A smart method (100) and module (300) to minimize standby loss is disclosed. The method (100) can include the steps of: detecting (110) a current parameter at a load node; determining (120) whether a current parameter threshold has been reached; and disabling (13) power delivery based on determining whether the current parameter threshold has been reached. Advantageously, the smart method (100) can provide minimal to zero standby loss, when a current parameter threshold has been reached. This method has use in many electronic devices and particularly in battery chargers, for example, when a predetermined current parameter threshold has been reached or an energy storage device (battery) charge is complete, minimal or zero standby loss can be attained. In one embodiment, the smart method (100) can substantially fully switch off AC mains to eliminate standby loss.</p> |
