Abstract

An electronic device may include a power management subsystem that soft-starts freshly charged batteries upon connection. The device may be configured to operate on power from a number of batteries less than the greatest number of batteries that may be concurrently connected. Because the soft-start reduces current inrush upon connection of a fresh battery, the device may continue operating as fresh batteries are connected and depleted batteries are disconnected.
