0000 The present document describes techniques associated with temperature-based battery-charging-profile architectures and applications thereof. Although advances in battery chemistries may enable batteries to be charged at temperatures that are higher or lower than the limits of conventional-battery chemistries (e.g., 0 °C to 60 °C), conventional hardware is generally restricted (e.g., hardcoded) to those limits. However, the temperature-based battery-charging-profile architectures and applications thereof, as described herein, provide a low-cost solution for conventional battery-charging hardware to be able to charge batteries with battery chemistries having expanded charging limits. The techniques described herein enable charging of batteries at temperatures that are outside of the standard JEITA mask by utilizing a switching mechanism operated by a controller that switches, based on the battery temperature, to a different charge profile with a reduced charge rate at a reduced voltage and/or current without affecting the JEITA mask.
