Abstract
In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of power inputs, a plurality of power outputs, a power management component, and a power source capability information translation component. The plurality of power inputs is coupled to power sources. The plurality of power outputs is coupled to electronic devices. The power management component is coupled to the plurality of power inputs and the plurality of power outputs to manage deliver of power. The power source capability information translation component is coupled to the power management component and an external source that provides a power source capability information of a power source connected to a power input of the plurality of power inputs. The power management component delivers the power from the power source to a power output of the plurality of power outputs in accordance with the power source capability information received from the external source.
