Abstract
An apparatus includes a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage from a power source and to provide an output current at an output. The apparatus further includes a battery charger, coupled to the voltage regulator, to provide a charge current. The apparatus further includes a controller to control the charge current such that the charge current is less than or equal to a current available from the power source minus the output current.
