Abstract

A portable power supply includes a rechargeable battery in a casing. Power is supplied from the battery to a socket by means of a D.C./A.C. voltage converter and a step-up transformer. When the socket is connected to an external source of power, the battery is charged by means of an additional winding in the transformer and a rectifier.
