A method for allowing a data processing system to use multiple smart batteries substantially simultaneously coupled to the same smart bus, the method including but not limited to detecting at least two smart batteries connected to a smart battery bus; and selectively controlling at least one of the at least two smart batteries via isolation of the smart battery bus clock signal. In one embodiment, circuitry is used to effect the foregoing-described method; the circuitry can be virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foregoing-described method depending upon the design choices of the system designer.
