1. A control unit comprising a logic circuit adapted to:
provide power from a battery to a computer system in one or more cycles of a peak power mode, wherein each cycle comprises a peak power and an off-peak power;
read one or more parameters derived from heat or heat over a time period under the peak power mode and a reference condition of the battery; and
among the one or more parameters, maintain first one or more parameters derived from the at least one of heat or the heat over the time period under the peak power mode to be the same as or less than second one or more parameters derived from a-heat from the battery over the time period under the reference condition of the battery, wherein at least one of the first one or more parameters or the second one or more parameters include at least one of P×t, I2×t, V×I×t, P, I2×R, V×I or I RMS, where P is power, I is current, t is duration, V is voltage and R is resistance.
