Abstract
Telecommunication power distribution systems and apparatuses and methods of supplying power to a telecommunication device are provided. According to one aspect, the invention includes a method of supplying electrical energy to a telecommunication device including supplying electrical current to a telecommunication device configured to perform at least one operation with respect to telecommunications, the supplying comprising using a power bus; storing electrical energy using a storage device having a plurality of operational states including a substantially discharged state; conducting electrical current intermediate the power bus and the storage device using coupling circuitry, the conducting including: first applying electrical current to the storage device provided in one of the operational states including the substantially discharged state; and second applying electrical current from the storage device to the power bus; and automatically switching operation of the coupling circuitry intermediate the first applying and the second applying.
