Soft Battery Runtime Program May 2026

Introduction

• CPU: Setting energy performance bias (EPB) on Intel, or energy model on ARM.
• Display: Dynamic refresh rate switching (120Hz → 60Hz → 1Hz).
• Radio: Adjusting Wi-Fi TX power and beacon listening intervals.
• Background tasks: Using a "battery-aware scheduler" (e.g., Android’s WorkManager with setBatteryNotLow).

Deployment & Operations

• Deploy as containerized microservice for lab environments.
• Provide Helm charts and systemd unit files.
• Backups for profiles and scenario libraries.
• Health checks and alerting for daemon availability.

1. Current SOC (State of Charge) – physical remaining.
2. Predicted use time – based on calendar, location, and history.
3. User urgency – is the user actively typing or just idling?
