    Abstract: A chassis structure of an apparatus contains a battery. Charger circuitry is operable to provide charge to the battery. Discharge circuitry is operable to receive charge from the battery. Switch circuitry is coupled between the battery and each of the charger circuitry, the discharge circuitry, and a load. A connector at an exterior surface of the chassis couples the apparatus to a power supply. The switch circuitry is coupled to the connector via the charger circuitry. A first control activable at the exterior surface of the chassis structure is operable to generate, in response to being activated, a first control signal to request a first switch state wherein the battery is electrically coupled to the discharge circuitry. A controller circuit coupled to receive the first control signal from the first control and, based on the first control signal, to operate the switch circuitry to provide the first switch state.
