Power supply optimization using backup battery power supplementation

Abstract:

Methods and systems for controlling distribution of a main power supply and backup power supply can include detecting an output load on the main power supply from one or more electronic devices in excess of a threshold, which may correspond to a high efficiency band of the main power supply, and causing a backup power supply to provide an amount of supplemental power to the one or more electronic devices based in part on a difference between the output load and the threshold.
