Smart Battery Subsystem

Smart Battery Subsystem

The Smart Battery Subsystem component supports Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)-compliant Smart Battery and Selector devices through a CPU to System Management Bus (SMB) host controller (SMBus) interface. This component supports a smart battery charger and at least one smart battery. It also supports a smart battery selector if multiple smart batteries are supported.

Component Configuration

There are no configuration requirements for this component.

Special Notes

Battery monitoring and management is only available on ACPI-enabled and Advanced Power Management (APM)-enabled computers. Windows can manage batteries that have a Smart Battery subsystem interface or a Control Method Battery interface on ACPI-enabled computers. Windows can also monitor multiple batteries.
