Various embodiments may provide a method of operating an electronic device. The method may include recognizing that an external device connected to the connector of the electronic device is a power supply device having a function of changing a voltage value and a current value through a communication circuit of the electronic device; selecting the direct charging circuit between the direct charging circuit and the switching charging circuit of the electronic device as a charging circuit through which the power signal received from the power supply device through the power supply terminal is to pass, based on the recognition; and identifying the voltage of the battery while the direct charging circuit is selected, based on the occurrence of a specified event, and requesting the power supply device through the communication circuit to output a power signal having a voltage value that is N times the battery voltage. In addition, various embodiments are possible.
