For the purpose of the invention, the invention relates to a method for detecting electricity, a power detecting system using the same, and an electronic device, in particular The invention relates to a method for detecting remaining power of a power supply device and a power detecting system and an electronic device using the same. [Prior Art] [0002] With the rapid development of technology, more and more electronic products are coming to market, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and laptops. Typically, these electronics are battery powered, especially rechargeable batteries. The remaining power of the battery has a great impact on the work of each electronic product. J: Because Jt, the rut is in the electronic product industry. , -1· , when it is necessary, it is necessary to praise the remaining electricity of the battery. [0003] There are two main methods for detecting the remaining battery power: one is the current integration algorithm; the other is the voltage measurement method. The current integration algorithm is based on current integration and uses the memory to store the battery. The value, in a predetermined refresh cycle, the charge of the rechargeable battery / ' · . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The remaining charge value is calculated based on the total charge value... and the charge/discharge power value. The voltage measurement method is based on voltage measurement, and is measured before the electronic product is shipped from the factory, and the correspondence table between the voltage value of the rechargeable battery and the remaining power value in the electronic product is stored in the memory of the electronic product. In use, by detecting the voltage value between the two poles of the rechargeable battery, and querying the correspondence table between the voltage value and the remaining power value, the remaining power value of the rechargeable battery is obtained. [0004] In the current integration algorithm, when the battery is not working for a long time, the self-discharge phenomenon caused by the internal chemical reaction of the battery causes the actual battery value of the rechargeable battery to be recorded with 095136401 Form No. A0101 Page 3/20 pages 0993232635-0 1333289 099 On June 30th, the value of the total electricity stored in the page was different, which led to a large error in the calculated residual power value. [0005] In the voltage measurement method, there is a simple correspondence between the battery voltage value and the remaining power value only in the case where the battery is not connected to any load and is a new battery. When the battery is connected to the load, the voltage at the two poles of the battery will cause a detection error due to the voltage drop caused by its internal impedance. When the battery is used for a period of time to cause aging, the correspondence between the battery voltage value and the remaining power also changes, and the voltage value of the battery also changes with temperature. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] In view of this, it is necessary to propose an accurate power detecting method. [0007] At the same time, an accurate power detection system is provided. In addition, an electronic device that accurately detects a power amount is also provided. [0009] A method for detecting a power quantity, comprising the following steps: [0010] measuring an initial voltage value of the power supply device; [0011] querying a correspondence table between the voltage value and the remaining power value according to the initial voltage value, and obtaining an initial remaining power value of the power supply device [0012] accumulating the charge/discharge current flowing through the power supply device to obtain a charge/discharge power value; and [0013] calculating a current remaining power value of the power supply device according to the initial remaining power value and the charge/discharge power value .
