Claims40
A power delivery system, comprising:
- a primary power path between a port and a computing system, the primary power path to provide power to the computing system;
- a bypass power path between the port and a port manager, the port manager to disable the primary power path and to enable the bypass power path in response to a battery condition.
A power delivery method, comprising:
- enabling a primary power path between a port and a computing system,
- the primary power path to provide power to the computing system;
- receiving instructions from the computing system;
- disabling the primary power path in response to a battery condition;
- and
- enabling a bypass power path between the port and a port manager in response to the battery condition.
3 more elements
One or more tangible, non-transitory computer readable media comprising a plurality of instructions that, in response to being executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- enable a primary power path between a port and a computing system, the primary power path to provide power to the computing system;
- receive instructions from the computing system;
- disable the primary power path in response to a battery condition;
- and
