charging a device battery to a less than full charge using the device charger electrically coupled to a device;

determining a device battery top off charge trigger associated with the device and the device battery;

maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided; and

providing the top off charge to the device battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger.

15. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises predicting a removal time of the device from the device charger based at least in part on a previous removal time of the device from the device charger and providing the device battery top off charge trigger at a time before the predicted removal time of the device.

16. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises receiving an indicator at a device sensor.

17. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises receiving an indicator from a networked device communicatively coupled with the device.

18. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 17 , wherein the networked device comprises at least one of a refrigerator, a coffee maker, a microwave, a kitchen appliance, a bar code reader, or a radio-frequency identification (RFID) reader.

19. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises receiving a top off charge command from a user.

20. The machine readable non-transitory medium of claim 14 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises presenting a top off charge query to a display device and receiving an affirmation of the top of charge query from a user.

21. A device comprising:

a device battery;

a device charger configured to be electrically coupled to the device;

a machine readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed, cause the device to provide battery management by:

charging the device battery to a less than full charge using the device charger;

determining a device battery top off charge trigger associated with the device and the device battery;

maintaining the less than full charge until a top off charge is to be provided; and

providing a top off charge to the device battery in response to the device battery top off charge trigger; and

a processor coupled to the machine readable medium to execute the plurality of instructions.

22. The device of claim 21 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises predicting a removal time of the device from the device charger based at least in part on a previous removal time of the device from the device charger and providing the device battery top off charge trigger at a time before the predicted removal time of the device.

23. The device of claim 21 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises receiving an indicator at a device sensor.

24. The device of claim 21 , wherein the determining the device battery top off charge trigger comprises receiving an indicator from a networked device communicatively coupled with the device.
