First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a housing including a working element;
a motor for driving the working element; and
a power control module, the power control module in electrical connection with the motor, a first power source configuration and/or a second power source configuration, the first power source configuration electrically connected to a battery assembly having a Direct Current (DC) power output, the second power source configuration electrically connected to a power inverter, wherein the power inverter receives an Alternating Current (AC) power and outputs a DC power to the second source configuration,wherein the motor receives power via the power control module from the first power source configuration and/or the second power source configuration, andwherein the power control module includes an automatic power selection configuration for automatically selecting the second power source configuration when the second power source configuration receives DC power from the power inverter.

Abstract
A device includes a housing configured with a working element and a motor configured for urging motion of the working element. The device further includes a power control module. The power control module is configurable for being in electrical connection with at least one of the motor, a first power source configuration and a second power source configuration. The first power source configuration is configurable for being electrically connected to a battery assembly having a DC power output. The second power source configuration is configurable for being electrically connected to a power inverter, the power inverter configured for receiving an AC power and further configured for outputting a DC power to the second power source configuration. The power control module includes an automatic power selection configuration for automatically selecting the second power source configuration when the second power source configuration receives DC power from the power inverter.
