Abstract

A cellular telephone utilises a plurality of batteries with each battery having an associated charging circuit. Power is applied to the charging circuit from a charging device which device may be a mechanical rotating member. A control module is associated with each one of the charging circuits and selects the battery or cells of the battery to which the power is to be provided. If one battery or cell is being discharged, the charge is applied to the other non-used battery or cell. If one battery or cell is discharged and the phone is not being used, the power is applied to the lowest voltage battery or cell.

Claims

1. A cellular telephone powered by at least two batteries, each of said batteries having an individual charging circuit and a control module associated with said charging circuit, one of said batteries being associated with a first charging circuit powering said cellular telephone in an operating mode while the other of said batteries is associated with a second charging circuit associated with said cellular telephone in a charging mode.

2. A method of operating a cellular telephone comprising the steps of operating said telephone off a first battery associated with a first charging circuit while a second battery associated with a second charging circuit is being charged.

3. A cellular telephone having a pair of batteries to power said telephone, each of said batteries being associated with an individual charging circuit, one of said batteries powering said telephone while the second of said batteries is being recharged through its associated charging circuit, said recharging being accomplished by a recharging device which produces power during movement of said cellular telephone.

4. A method of recharging a first battery of a cellular telephone while a second battery of said cellular telephone is being used to power said cellular telephone, said method comprising producing movement in said cellular telephone to mechanically move a recharging device which produces power to recharge said first battery through a first charging circuit.
