A battery pack-containing solid state circuit, normally in a standby condition, automatically applies battery-generated power to a multi-power requirement load a predetermined time period subsequent to detection of a malfunction in the load's normal power source. In switching to its power-applying state, the circuit disconnects the load from its malfunctioning power source and energizes the load at a level consistent with the battery pack capabilities. The circuit includes a unique fold-back-characterized, overcurrent-protected inverter and a temperature-compensated battery charger. A low battery voltage sensor exhibiting hysteresis characteristics inhibits operation of the circuit when the battery voltage drops below a predetermined level indicative of a discharge condition, the low voltage sensor continuing to inhibit operation of the circuit until a battery voltage charging input regains a level in excess of the predetermined level at which the discharge battery initially inhibited circuit operation. Restoration of normal power resets the circuit to a standby condition after a predetermined time period. The circuit finds particular application as an emergency power unit to effect lowering of an hydraulic elevator car and release of passengers therefrom.
