1. A device comprising:
a battery;
a means for charging the battery; and
a processor at least partially powered by the battery and configured to:
determine a previous energy accumulation via the means for charging the battery during a previous cycle,
determine at least one operating parameter for an energy-consuming activity during a next cycle based on the previous energy accumulation;
perform the energy-consuming activity according to the at least one operating parameter during the next cycle;
identify an unexpected energy expenditure amount during the previous cycle; and
compute an energy budget for the next cycle by normalizing the previous energy accumulation and the unexpected energy expenditure amount to the next cycle; and
wherein the next cycle is associated with a next cycle duration that is different from a previous cycle duration associated with the previous cycle.
