Abstract

A power adaptation device and a power supply management method thereof are provided. The power adaptation device includes a terminal seat, a detection structure, a detection unit, an electric power modulation unit, an electric power modulation unit, and a control unit. The power supply management method includes the following steps. A detection result of the detection structure is read by the detection unit to judge whether the power terminal is electrically connected to the electronic device. The detection unit notifies the control unit that the power terminal is not connected to the electronic device when judging that the power terminal is not connected to the electronic device. The control unit controls the electric power modulation unit to stop supplying power to the electric power modulation unit to reduce a total power consumption of the electric power modulation unit.
