A booster type DC-DC conversion circuit and a voltage reduction type DC-DC conversion circuit are connected in series with a battery. When battery voltage is high, the booster type DC-DC conversion circuit does not operate, and the voltage reduction type DC-DC conversion circuit outputs a constant voltage lower than the battery voltage. When the battery voltage drops, the booster type DC-DC conversion circuit operates, and converts the battery voltage to a constant voltage higher than the operation voltage of the voltage reduction type DC-DC conversion circuit. The voltage reduction type DC-DC conversion circuit outputs a constant voltage. The power supply apparatus can continuously output a constant voltage from when the battery voltage is high until it becomes low, and can efficiently utilize the battery capacity. |
