1. A portable battery power supply comprising:

  • a body having an outer shell defining an inner volume having at least one rechargeable energy storage cell disposed therein;

    a mechanical interconnection disposed in the outer shell of the body comprising at least one fixed mechanical engagement point and at least one deployable mechanical locking element;

    a primary power output bus disposed in the outer shell of the body and electronically connected with the at least one rechargeable energy storage cell, the primary power output bus being configured to cooperatively interconnect the portable battery power supply to an external electronic circuit to supply at least one high current output and at least one low current output thereto;

    at least one power output receptacle disposed in the outer body and electronically connected with the at least one rechargeable energy storage cell;

    an electromechanical switch electrically interconnected between the at least one rechargeable energy storage cell and the primary power output bus and at least one power output, and mechanically interconnected with the at least one deployable mechanical locking element;

    wherein the electromechanical switch has at least two switchable positions;

    a first switchable position in which the deployable mechanical locking element is withdrawn within the outer shell of the body and the electronic circuit between the rechargeable energy storage cell and both the primary output bus and the at least one power output receptacle is interrupted,a second switchable position in which the deployable mechanical locking element is extended out of the outer shell of the body and the electronic circuit between the rechargeable energy storage cell and both the primary output bus and the at least one power output receptacle is uninterrupted, anda primary power output bus interconnection circuit interconnected between the primary power output bus and the rechargeable energy storage cell such that when the primary output bus is engaged with the external electronic circuit the at least one low current output is connected through the external electronic circuit when the electromechanical switch is disposed in any one of the first or second switchable positions.
