By means of the converters in the system, the kind of energy required by the device is provided, and different system requirements can be determined by the user. In addition, the system operates with lithium-ion battery.
United States Patent Document no US5323100 A, an application known in the state of the art, discloses a voltage regulating device. The said device which regulates the voltage of the battery according to the voltage to be used by the device utilizes a switch regulator.
United States Patent Document no US7925906 B2, an application known in the state of the art, discloses a power management unit. The said unit can provide different voltage values with different battery selections. The said unit which also has voltage regulator provides the voltage value required by the load and more than one device can actively be used simultaneously. International Patent Document no WO03038980 (Al ), an application known in the state of the art, discloses a battery operated power supply.
