Abstract
An electronic device, a method and a computer program product for selecting at least one of a first energy storage device and a second energy storage device to power at least one power consuming component based on identified environmental factors. The method includes, receiving, via a processor, a first temperature value from a temperature sensor, determining if the first temperature value is less than a threshold temperature value, and in response to the first temperature value being less than the threshold temperature value, detecting, via a sensor, which of a first housing and a second housing is being held. The method further includes in response to detecting the first housing is being held, triggering a power source selection circuit to select a first energy storage device to provide power to at least one power consuming component, and transition from drawing power from a second energy storage device.
