Abstract
A power source converter apparatus that is the structural and functional ivalent of a typical internally stored battery, such as a lithium organic cell. The converter has a shape and size that conforms to that of the battery being replaced. The converter includes a pair of output terminals that can make electrical contact with appropriate elements in the unit in the same manner as did the battery it replaces and a pair of input terminals accessible to the exterior of the unit for connection to an external power source. Internally of the converter body, there is mounted an electronic circuit to be used as a power conditioner and a voltage regulator for performing the proper DC-to-DC voltage conversion to ensure the necessary voltage at the output terminals. A threaded cap is fixed to the converter for use in covering the opening in the battery housing.
