ABSTRACT:
An apparatus which connects/disconnects battery from a load such as a computer system includes a first circuit arrangement which sets a first reference voltage level at which the energy source is connected through an FET device to the computer system, a second circuit arrangement that sets a second voltage level at which the energy source is disconnected by the FET device from the computer system and a third circuit arrangement which controls the FET device so that said FET device is forced into either its ON or OFF state once one of the reference voltages is reached. A second apparatus which reduces power dissipation in a battery charger power device by forcing the input voltage to track the battery voltage as the battery charges/discharges.
