Abstract
A modular recharging system includes an electronic device that includes an internal battery, and a removable battery pack that the electronic device can use to boost the power of its internal battery. Typically, the battery pack will have a larger battery than the internal battery of the device. Based on threshold charge levels for the internal battery, the electronic device turns on and off power from the battery pack so as to preserve the life of the battery pack. Processor interrupts generated in response to the threshold levels may also be selectively masked to reduce power consumption.
