Abstract

A method for controlling power supplied to an aerosol-generating element of an aerosol-generating device is provided, the aerosol-generating device including an aerosol-generating element, a control unit, and a battery configured to deliver power to the aerosol-generating element and to the control unit, the control unit being configured to adjust a duty cycle of a current supplied from the battery to the aerosol-generating element; and the method including measuring, using a measuring unit, at least one first characteristic of the battery, the at least one first characteristic comprising a temperature of the battery; and adjusting, using the control unit, a value of the duty cycle based on a predetermined rule which outputs the value of duty cycle based on the measured at least one battery characteristic. An aerosol-generating device is also provided.
