Abstract
An internal common slot battery backup unit (CSBBU) is provided that can be placed in a network device's power supply unit (PSU) slot. The CSBBU has the same features of a PSU and communicates with other PSUs in the network device in order to determine when it should supply power to the networking device and when it should be in a recharging state.
