Abstract:
A method in an electronic device includes detecting, with one or more processors of the electronic device operating with an attachment having a predefined functionality, whether a function of the predefined functionality is operational on the electronic device. When the function is operational on the electronic device, the one or more processors can cause the following: an auxiliary energy storage device carried by the attachment to deliver power to the electronic device; a power management control circuit carried by the electronic device to power the one or more processors with the power delivered from the auxiliary energy storage device; and the power management control circuit to preclude charging of a primary energy storage device carried by the electronic device with the power delivered from the auxiliary energy storage device.
