Abstract

The electronic device powering system enables a battery powered device to power another device needing power while also powering itself. The accessory power connector (102) makes a connection before breaking it by a spring contact (110) that is more flexible in one end (111) than the other (112). This allows the less flexible end (112) to force the internal power connector (104) in the electronic device to break its connection.
