1. A power supply apparatus comprising:
- a first power supply unit configured to be used for a first power supply method;
a second power supply unit configured to be used for a second power supply method different from the first power supply method;
a first communication unit configured to be used for a first control method for controlling power supplying;
a second communication unit configured to be used for a second control method different from the first control method; and
a control unit configured to set the power supply apparatus in any one of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode based on authentication with an electronic apparatus;
wherein the control unit operates so that the power supply apparatus performs power supply to the electronic apparatus based on a set mode, wherein the first mode is a mode for performing power supplying based on the first power supply method and for controlling power supplying based on the first control method, wherein the second mode is a mode for performing power supplying based on the second power supply method and for controlling power supplying based on the first control method, and wherein the third mode is a mode for performing power supplying based on the second power supply method and for controlling power supplying based on the second control method.
