Save it as (400 steps). At this time, the new value calculated every cycle replaces the previously stored value.
    Next, the type of battery currently installed in the personal mobile terminal is determined using the stored current charge control value (step 410). That is, if the current charge control value is greater than or equal to a predetermined voltage value, the type of battery installed is recognized as a rechargeable battery, and if less than the predetermined voltage value, the type of battery installed is determined to be an alkaline battery. The determined battery type is compared with an existing battery type that is already stored as the current battery type (step 420). If the type of the determined battery is different from the type of the existing battery stored separately, it is recognized that there is a replacement of the mounted battery (step 440).
    On the other hand, if the type of the determined battery is the same as the type of the existing battery stored separately compared to the stored current battery remaining value of the existing battery remaining value stored separately (step 430), if the variation is greater than the predetermined variation value It is recognized that there is a replacement of the mounted battery (step 440).
    Thereafter, the current battery type is stored as an existing battery type, and the current battery remaining value is stored as an existing battery remaining value and used in the next comparison (step 450).
