1. An apparatus comprising:
a first switch configured to variably connect a device circuit of an electronic device to a battery;
a cutout control circuit connected to the first switch and comprising a supply power input
and a cutout activation input, wherein the cutout control circuit is configured to turn the first switch on when a supply voltage is connected to the supply power input;
an independent device module; and
an independent power supply switch configured to variably connect the independent device module to the battery, wherein the device circuit is configured to control the independent power supply switch, wherein the independent power supply switch is configured to variably connect the independent device module to the battery via a first electrical path that is not via the first switch, and wherein the first switch is configured to variably connect the device circuit to the battery via a second electrical path that is not via the independent power supply switch.
