A hybrid battery configuration supplies a load (16) having varying current requirements which may range from short periods of high current to extended periods of low to medium current. The hybrid battery configuration comprises a high rate, high power, energy storage device (12, 12a), a high energy battery (14), a current monitoring device (18), a microprocessor controller (20), and at least one switch (22a, 22b, 24a, 24b, 28). The high rate, high power energy storage device and the high energy battery are connected in parallel with each other, and in series with the load. The current monitoring device is connected in series with the parallel connected high rate, high power device and the high energy battery, and in series with the load. The switch is controlled by the microprocessor so as to switch at least one of the high power device and the high energy battery into and out of a series connection with the load. |
