Abstract
An electronic device and a method for charging a battery of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a housing; a battery disposed within the housing; a first interface electrically or electromagnetically connected to a first external power source; a second interface electrically or electromagnetically connected to a second external power source; and a circuit electrically connected to the battery, the first interface, and the second interface, wherein the circuit changes a first voltage output from the first interface based on a second voltage output from the second interface, changes a first current output from the first interface based on a second current output from the second interface, and charges the battery based on the changed first current and second current.
