Battery hot swapping

Techniques and apparatus for swapping a primary power source (e.g., a main battery) while using a secondary power source (e.g., a backup battery or a supercapacitor) to power a portable device. One example integrated circuit (IC) for power management generally includes a first power supply node; a second power supply node; a first port for coupling to a primary power source; a first switch coupled between the first power supply node and the first port; a second port for coupling to a secondary power source; a second switch coupled between the first power supply node and the second port; and a third switch coupled between the first and second power supply nodes. For certain aspects, the IC also includes a third power supply node, a voltage regulator coupled between the first and third power supply nodes, and a fourth switch coupled between the second and third power supply nodes.
