Abstract
Power distribution circuitry for battery-powered apparatus having multiple energy-consuming loads, such as a camera having an electronic strobe flash unit and a film drive motor, enables the loads to be actuated independently without drawing battery current simultaneously. This limits peak battery current which can extend the useful life of the battery.
