ABSTRACT:
A battery pack for an electronic device includes a housing separate from the electronic device wherein the housing can be mechanically connected to the electronic device. Electrical contacts on the housing provide electrical contact with the electronic device when connected thereto. A first battery interface in the housing receives a first battery, and a second battery interface in the housing receives a second battery. A switch in the housing connects either the first battery interface or the second battery interface to the electrical contacts in response to a selection by a user of the electronic device. Related systems and methods are also discussed.
