21. A system comprising:
a power and data port;
a charging component connected to the power and data port; and
an embedded controller configured to:
estimate a resistance in the system based on a detected battery current or a detected battery voltage of a battery, and
determine a set voltage for charging the battery using the charging component based on the resistance in the system,
wherein the charging component is configured to output voltage based on the set voltage.
