Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a first switch unit being connected between an electrical load and a battery, a second switch unit being connected between the electrical load and the battery, and being connected in parallel with the first switch unit, a first control unit that controls the first switch unit so as to control supplying power from an external apparatus to the electrical load and charging the battery with power supplied from the external apparatus to the electronic apparatus, and a second control unit that controls the second switch unit based on whether power is supplied from the external apparatus to the electronic apparatus. In a case where power is not supplied from the external apparatus to the electronic apparatus, the second control unit controls the second switch unit to supply power from the battery to the electrical load via the second switch unit.
