A system and method is described for rapid charging and power management of a battery for a meter. A charger component is operably associated with the meter and is capable of executing a rapid charge algorithm for a rechargeable battery. The algorithm includes monitoring for a connection to an external power source and implementing a charging routine of a battery at a first charge rate and then at a second charge rate. The second charge rate is lower than the first charge rate. A temperature rise in the rechargeable battery due to the first charge rate has a negligible heat transfer effect on the fluid sample. The meter can also include a power switch for controlling current flow to a battery fuel gauge. The power switch is open when the meter enters into a sleep mode. The state of battery charge is determined after the meter exits the sleep mode.

L'invention porte sur un système et sur un procédé de charge rapide et de gestion d'énergie d'une pile pour un appareil de mesure. Un composant de chargeur, associé de manière fonctionnelle à l'appareil de mesure, est capable d'exécuter un algorithme de charge rapide pour une pile rechargeable. L'algorithme comprend la surveillance d'une connexion avec une source d'alimentation externe et la mise en uvre d'une routine de charge d'une pile à un premier débit de charge, puis à un second débit de charge. Le second débit de charge est inférieur au premier débit de charge. Un échauffement de la pile rechargeable due au premier débit de charge a un effet de transfert de chaleur négligeable sur l'échantillon fluide. L'appareil de mesure peut également comprendre un commutateur d'alimentation permettant de réguler la circulation de courant vers un indicateur de charge de pile. Le commutateur d'alimentation est ouvert lorsque l'appareil de mesure se met en mode veille. L'état de charge de pile est déterminé après que l'appareil de mesure quitte le mode veille.
