We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Backup battery",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Small circuits simplify design process from
Maxim Integrated Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "MAX16033-MAX16040 supervisory circuits offer a microprocessor reset, battery-backup switchover, power-fail warning and chip-enable gating".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Connectivity platforms boost IP security from
QuickLogic: "Security functions including AES encryption, enhance design flexibility for handheld electronics products".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Mosaic Industries
concerning its Mosaic GPS Wildcard
- take a look at Card adds location-aware function to instruments
which says: "A miniature GPS card can fit on to a single-board computer and add location-aware functions to within an accuracy of 15m to board-based instruments and data-acquisition systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron UK, Design shows route to efficient mobile PSUs,
as well as Basestation monitoring handles all sizes of site from Nortech Management,
and Switcher is sustained by battery for backup from VxI Power.
