Abstract
Abstract Supply of energy to a radio device (220) as provided by a battery pack (210) is remotely controlled by coupling a transistor switch (213) between an energy source (212) within the battery pack (210) and battery terminals (222 and 224). The transistor switch (213) is controlled by a control signal (238) which is applied to the battery (210) through a control terminal (217) disposed on the battery.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A battery pack for use with other devices, comprising: an energy source for supplying energy to a device through energy source output terminals; battery terminals for coupling said device to said energy source; a transistor switch coupled between said energy source output terminals and at least one battery terminal for selectively controlling supply of energy to at least one of said battery terminals in response to an external control signal; a control terminal for coupling said external control signal to said transistor switch wherein said control signal is generated by having said control terminal coupled to at least on of the energy source output terminals so as to control the supply of energy.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A battery pack for use with other devices, comprising: an energy source for supplying energy to a device through energy source output terminals; battery terminals for coupling said device to said energy source; a transistor switch coupled between said energy source output terminals and at least one battery terminal for selectively controlling supply of energy to at least one of said battery terminals in response to an external control signal; a control terminal for coupling said external control signal to said transistor switch wherein said control signal is generated by having said control terminal coupled to at least on of the energy source output terminals so as to control the supply of energy.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
