Abstract
A battery continuation apparatus (104) contains an electrochemical cell (1039) and a bypass mechanism (1100). When attached to an electronic device (100), the bypass mechanism (1100) selectively connects the one electrochemical cell (1039) to power the electronic device (100) or selectively bypasses the electrochemical cell (1039) when a battery pack (102) or an additional battery continuation apparatus (2001) having a second source of power is coupled to the battery continuation apparatus (104).
