BATTERY CHARGING AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY DELIVERY SYSTEM AND BATTERY OPERATED SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A battery charging and electrical energy delivery system comprisinga first connection for connection to an energy source;
- a second connection for connection to a battery;
a third connection for connection to a first set of consumers of electrical energy;
a first path for supplying charging current from the energy source to the battery when connected to the first and second connections respectively;
a second path, separate from said first path, for supplying electrical energy from the energy source to the first set of consumers when connected to the first and third connections respectively;
a third path for supplying electrical energy from the battery to the first set of consumers when connected to the second and third connections respectively;
a control unit for controlling the supply of electrical energy along said first, second and third paths in response to a detected state of the energy source.

Abstract
A battery charging and electrical energy delivery system (25) that allows for separation of charging of a battery (23) and delivery of electrical energy to a first set of consumers (24). The battery may be charged via a first path (29) for connecting the battery with an energy source (22), while electrical energy may be supplied via a second path (30) (separate from the first path) from the energy source to the first set of consumers. The first set of consumers may also be powered by the battery via third path (31) e.g. if the energy source is off. A control unit (32) is adapted to control the supply of electrical energy along the first, second and third paths in response to a detected state of the energy source. A battery operated system (21a) including the battery charging and electrical energy delivery system (25) is also provided.
