Electronic device and method of controlling electronic device

A method comprising:

• performing authentication to determine whether a battery is a predetermined battery;
• causing a power receiving unit to receive power supplied from an external apparatus;
• controlling power supplied from the external apparatus to a first power path and a second power path if it has been determined that the battery is the predetermined battery;
• and
• limiting power supplied from the external apparatus to the first power path and the second power path if it has been determined that the battery is not the predetermined battery,
• wherein the first power path differs from the second power path, and the second power path is a power path for supplying power from the power control unit to the battery.

A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program causing a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

• performing authentication to determine whether a battery is a predetermined battery;
• causing a power receiving unit to receive power supplied from an external apparatus;
• controlling power supplied from the external apparatus to a first power path and a second power path if it has been determined that the battery is the predetermined battery;
• and
• limiting power supplied from the external apparatus to the first power path and the second power path if it has been determined that the battery is not the predetermined battery,
• wherein the first power path differs from the second power path, and the second power path is a power path from supplying power from the power control unit to the battery.

An electronic device comprising:

• an authentication unit that performs authentication to determine whether a battery is a predetermined battery;
• a power receiving unit that receives power supplied from an external apparatus;
• and
• a power control unit that (a) controls power supplied from the external apparatus to a first power path and a second power path if it has been determined that the battery is the predetermined battery, and (b) limits power supplied from the external apparatus to the second power path if it has been determined that the battery is not the predetermined battery,
• wherein the first power path differs from the second power path, and the second power path is a power path for supplying power from the power control unit to the battery.
