First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- (a) handle assembly, wherein the handle assembly comprises;
(i) a housing, and(ii) a first control circuit located within the housing; and
(b) a battery pack assembly, wherein the battery pack assembly comprises;
(i) a power supply configured to selectively transition from a first state to a second state, wherein the power supply is configured to energize the first control circuit of the handle assembly in the first state, wherein the power supply is configured to not energize the first control circuit of the handle assembly in the second state, and(ii) a second control circuit in communication with the power supply, wherein the second control circuit is configured to transition the power supply between the first state and the second state.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a handle assembly and a battery pack. The handle assembly includes a housing and a first control circuit located within the housing. The battery pack assembly includes a power supply and a second control circuit. The power supply is configured to selectively transition from a first state to a second state. The power supply is configured to energize the first control circuit of the handle assembly in the first state. The power supply is configured to not energize the first control circuit of the handle assembly in the second state. The second control circuit is configured to transition the power supply between the first state and the second state
