Systems and methods for dynamic battery management of mobile devices are disclosed. In some implementations, a battery management application at the mobile device can enable a user to configure operational priority values for one or more software applications installed on the device, a battery threshold value for the mobile device and device resources needed by prioritized applications. In some implementations, mobile devices across a network can be managed remotely through a device management application. The device management application can obtain operational priority values for one or more software applications executing on one or more devices. The device management application can identify respective battery thresholds for the devices and remotely control operation of the software applications based on their respective operational priorities and the identified battery thresholds.
