Abstract
A power supply switching apparatus for switching power supplies used to all electronic appliance such as a pager and a portable telephone is described. A battery pack includes a battery and is connectable to an external DC power supply. In the battery pack, a power supply connection detecting circuit detects whether or not the external DC power supply is connected to this battery pack, and a switching circuit switches the battery and the external DC power supply. In an appliance housing a voltage is detected by a voltage detecting circuit to judge whether the detected voltage corresponds to the voltage derived from the battery power supply, or the voltage derived from the external DC power supply, and another switching circuit switches the battery power supply and a power stabilizing circuit. Both of these battery pack and appliance housing constitute the power supply switching apparatus.
