  • Integrated internal and removable battery power management for image capture device
    Patent number: 12167126
    Abstract: A system with an integrated internal battery, a removable battery, and a power management integrated circuit. The power management integrated circuit is configured to provide power to the image capture device from the removable battery; provide power to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery when the removable battery is disconnected from the image capture device or the removable battery does not have a sufficient charge to drive the image capture device; and recharge the integrated internal battery before the removable battery until the integrated internal battery has a sufficient charge to power the image capture device. The power is continuously supplied to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery while the removable battery is disconnected from the image capture device or does not have sufficient power to drive the image capture device.

  • Integrated internal and removable battery power management for image capture device
    Patent number: 11871108
    Abstract: A method and system for continuously supplying power to an image capture device during an image capture session are disclosed. The image capture device includes an integrated internal battery located internal to the image capture device and a removable battery connected to the image capture device. Power is provided to the image capture device from the removable battery. When the removable battery is disconnected from the image capture device, power is provided to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery. When a new removable battery is connected to the image capture device, power is provided to the image capture device from the new removable battery. Power is continuously supplied to the image capture device from the integrated internal battery while the removable battery is disconnected and replaced with the new removable battery.
