Abstract
A supplemental power system includes a powered component, a removable module interface with a plurality of pins, and a plurality of system connections. A system controller detects a first type removable module coupled to the removable module interface and allows signals from the system connections to be transmitted to the first type removable module through the plurality of pins. The system controller detects a second type removable module coupled to the removable module interface and allows power from the second type removable module that is received through the plurality of pins to be transmitted to the powered component while not allowing signals from the system connections to be transmitted to the second type removable module through the plurality of pins. Power that is stored in the second type removable module may be provided to the powered component in response to a detected power excursion by the powered component.
