Abstract
A method for maintaining a power source can include selecting, by a controller module, a rechargeable power storage device from a set of power storage devices arranged to selectively provide a summated output of the power source, and selectively enabling the selected power storage device to discharge its stored power at the output of the power source. The controller module can compare a sensed voltage of the selected power storage device with a minimum voltage threshold.
