Abstract

A charge level for a first rechargeable power source, a second rechargeable power source, and a third rechargeable power source is determined. The first rechargeable power source is determined to be below a threshold level of charge. In response to determining that the first rechargeable power source is below a threshold level of charge, a switch is made from the first rechargeable power source to the second rechargeable power source.
