Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may: send, by a battery management unit (BMU) of a battery of an information handling system (IHS), a request for a first amount of current to an embedded controller (EC) of the IHS; provide, by the EC, the request for the first amount of current to a charger of the IHS; receive, by the charger, the request; provide, by the charger, a second amount of current based at least on the request and based at least on a voltage measurement across a resistor of the charger; determine, by the BMU, a measurement of the second amount of current; provide, by the BMU, the measurement to the EC; determine, by the EC, that the measurement does not match the first amount of current; and provide, by the EC, an alert.
