Abstract
A rechargeable battery includes a plug, a first socket, a capacity storage module and a power measurement module. The plug is configured for being plugged in either a first socket of a second similar rechargeable battery to constitute a battery pack or a second socket of a charge apparatus. In addition, the first socket either is configured for either receiving a plug of a third similar rechargeable battery to constitute the battery pack or being electrically coupled to a power input port of an electronic device. The power measurement module is electrically connected to the capacity storage module, and is configured to measure a residual capacity value of the capacity storage module, and feedback the measured residual capacity value to the charge apparatus. A related power supply system is also provided.
