1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an internal battery device including a secondary battery;
a load device configured to receive power from the secondary battery;
a receiving section configured to detachably receive a movable member;
circuitry configured to generate a control signal for preventing dark current from flowing from the secondary battery to the load device; and
a first switching element configured to cut off a power source path from the secondary battery to the load device based on the control signal generated by the circuitry, whereinthe circuitry includes a switch disposed on or within the receiving section, which becomes conductive when the movable member is received by the receiving section.
