1. A power supply circuit comprising:
a first conduction path that electrically connects a first power storage section and a first load;
a second conduction path that electrically connects a second power storage section and a second load;
a power generator that supplies power to the first load and the second load, through the first conduction path and the second conduction path;
a first element that is provided in series between the power generator and the first conduction path, allows flow of current from the power generator side to the first conduction path side, and regulates flow of current from the first conduction path side to the power generator side;
a second element that is provided in series between the power generator and the second conduction path, allows flow of current from the power generator side to the second conduction path side, and regulates flow of current from the second conduction path side to the power generator side;
a first switch that is provided in parallel with the first element and switches between ON, which electrically connects the power generator and the first conduction path, and OFF, which electrically disconnects the power generator from the first conduction path; and
a second switch that is provided in parallel with the second element and switches between ON, which electrically connects the power generator and the second conduction path, and OFF, which electrically disconnects the power generator from the second conduction path wherein: in a case where power is supplied directly from the power generator to the first load and the second load, the first switch and the second switch are turned OFF.
