Dynamic thermal management for optimal battery charging
Optimized charging of a battery of a computing device is provided. The computing device includes a dynamic phase change device. The dynamic phase change device includes a wick structure with a valve. The valve is operable to regulate a working fluid of the dynamic phase change device based on a position of the valve. The computing device also includes a battery physically connected to and in thermal communication with the dynamic phase change device, and a sensor operable to determine a temperature of the battery. The computing device includes a first heat generating component physically and thermally connected to the dynamic phase change device. The first heat generating component or a second heat generating component is configured to compare the determined temperature to a predetermined temperature and control the valve based on the comparison.
