Abstract
A power delivery apparatus, system may include a series-connected plurality of energy storage devices, a voltage sensor to sense a supply voltage across a load coupled to a selected one of the plurality of storage devices, and a switch to couple and decouple various ones of the series-connected plurality of energy storage devices from the load when the supply voltage is less than or equal to a reference voltage. An article, including a machine-accessible medium, capable of directing a machine to carry out a method of delivering power may include data which directs the machine to couple each one of a series-connected plurality of energy storage elements to a power source, couple a selected one of the plurality of storage elements to a load, discharge a selected amount of energy from the selected one of the series-connected plurality of storage elements into the load, and decouple the selected one of the series-connected plurality of storage elements from the load.
