Dynamic Control Mechanisms for Backup Power Regulators

A computing device includes: a battery compartment configured to removably receive a battery; a backup power source; a computing subsystem configured to receive power from a selectable one of the battery and the backup power source; a backup power regulator configured to supply backup power from the backup power source; and a power control subsystem configured, in response to detecting removal of the battery from the battery compartment, to: control the backup power regulator to increase an output voltage level of the backup power; and supply power to the computing subsystem from the backup power regulator.
