1. A power source comprising:
- an interface;
power generating circuitry operatively coupled to generate and provide power to an electronic device via the interface; and
control circuitry configured to;
control the power generating circuitry to generate and provide power to the electronic device during a waiting step so as to allow the electronic device to boot up,wherein the power generating circuitry is controlled to not generate power after the waiting step unless a request signal is received from the electronic device.

Abstract
A portable power source is configured for use with an electronic device. The portable power source cooperates and communicates with the electronic device via a peripheral bus to which the electronic device is attachable. The portable power source includes circuitry to process a power request signal from the electronic device to determine whether a device connected to a bus interface of the portable power source is requesting power from the portable power source.
