A rechargeable battery (2) for portable electronic apparatus such as a cellular telephone (1) comprises a housing (5) enclosing one or more rechargeable cells (3) and a memory (6), e.g. an EEPROM, for storing information such as the voltage/current characteristics of the battery and/or the number of previous recharge cycles, such information being indicative of the condition of the cells. This information can then be used to select a charging program me best suited to the prevailing condition of the battery, and hence optimise the longevity and performance of the battery. <IMAGE> |
