Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A reconfigurable multi-battery pack system for inclusion in a hand held device for more efficiently energizing battery powered operation of both a buck DC-DC converter and a boost DC-DC converter included in the device. Also disclosed is a power management circuit that autonomously: 1. connects the batteries in parallel during battery recharging; and 2. connects at least two (2) of the batteries in series when the batteries are not being recharged and are energizing operation of the DC-DC converters.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for energizing operation of a device that includes at least two (2) rechargeable batteries, the device also including both at least one (1) buck DC-DC converter and at least one (1) boost DC-DC converter with each DC-DC converter respectively having a power input that receives electrical power for energizing DC-DC converter operation, the method comprising the step of connecting the batteries in series with: a. the series connected batteries being c…
