This invention is for the advanced intelligent computer power management (AICPM) system. The main features of this invention include converting the traditional smart battery pack into a removable and data accessible (RADA) battery pack and an intelligent power management algorithm embedded in the host computer. The improved RADA battery pack contains a temperature sensor, a display unit, and a memory (EEPROM). Peripherals mounted on the host computer side which contains a control unit, a charging circuit, a load circuit, a voltage divider, a current detector, a temperature control circuit, and a data bus are used to cope with the removal and data access operation for the AICPM system. The removable and data-accessible battery pack utilizes the functions provided by this invention to read, update, and record data about the battery pack, such as number of times used, remaining capacity, usable time, and nominal capacity. It also stores these data in the EEPROM of the RADA battery pack so that when the battery pack is used next time, the AICPM system can read out these data from the EEPROM and use them as the battery pack new information.
