Abstract
A method for managing backup power in the event of a power supply deficit or disruption includes detecting the power supply deficit and recruiting some or all of the backup battery units associated with electronic devices in the system to provide a backup power supply. Depending on the severity of the power supply failure, the selected backup battery units can be reconfigured from providing power to local electronic devices to providing power along a backup power supply pathway to other electronic components in the system.
