  • Multi-use battery
    Patent number: 6246600
    Abstract: An adapter for interfacing a battery for a portable computer to an electronic device of a type that is not normally compatible with the battery for the portable computer includes a power adapter, a device-specific module and a delivery circuit. The power adapter is removably couplable to a portable computer battery and includes a power conversion circuit that converts a first electrical voltage received from the battery to a second electrical voltage. The device-specific module is removably couplable to the power adapter. The device-specific module receives the second electrical voltage from the power adapter and converts the second electrical voltage to a device-specific electrical voltage. The delivery circuit couples the device-specific module to the electronic device, thereby allowing delivery of the device-specific electrical voltage to the electronic device.
