In accordance with the teachings described herein, a method and apparatus for handling a charging state in a mobile electronic device is provided. A universal serial bus (USB) interface may be used for connecting the mobile device to a USB host. A processing device may be used to execute programs and to control operation of the mobile device. The processing device may be operable to receive an enumeration acknowledgement signal from the USB host via the USB interface and generate an enable signal upon receiving the enumeration acknowledgement signal. A rechargeable battery may be used to power the processing device. A battery charger may be used to receive a USB bus voltage from the USB interface and use the USB bus voltage to power the processing device and to charge the rechargeable battery. The battery charger may be further operable to receive a charge enable signal that enables and disables the battery charger from powering the processing device and charging the rechargeable battery. A timing circuit may be used to detect the USB bus voltage and to measure the passage of a pre-determined amount of time upon detecting the USB bus voltage. A battery charger enabling circuit may be used to generate the charge enable signal to control the battery charger, the battery charger enabling the battery charger if the timer has measured the passage of the pre-determined amount of time or the enable signal is received from the processing device.

A battery charger includes a master charge manager, and a slave charge manager coupled to the master charge manager. The master charge manager is coupled to a power source and one battery and is configured to charge the one battery with a first continuously decreasing portion of the available current after a voltage across the one battery exceeds a first predetermined maximum voltage threshold. The slave charge manager is coupled to the power source and another battery and is configured such that, while the master charge manager charges the one battery with the continuously decreasing portion of the available current, the slave charge manager charges the other battery with a continuously increasing portion of the available current. The total of the decreasing portion and the increasing portion are substantially equal to the current available from the power source.
