1. A method of operating an apparatus, comprising:

  • detecting a level of power received from each of a plurality of sources;

    directing the power received from a first source of the plurality of sources to a charging circuit by;

    comparing the detected level of the power received from the first source with a threshold;

    directing the power received from the first source to the charging circuit if the detected level of the power received from the first source meets a threshold, otherwise directing the power received from the first source to a storage module; and

    directing the power received from at least a second source of the plurality of sources to the charging circuit by;

    comparing the detected level of the power received from the at least a second source with the threshold;

    directing the power received from the at least a second source to the charging circuit if the detected level of the power received from the at least a second source meets a threshold, otherwise directing the power received from the at least a second source to the storage module.
