Claim Text:
1. A mobile device comprising: an input port to directly receive power from a power source, the power source being one of at least three different types of power sources; an adjusting device to receive the power from the input port, and to adjust a power characteristic of the power, the adjusting device to include a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device, a controller, and a charger, the controller to control the MPPT device based at least in part on a control algorithm, the maximum power point tracking device to receive power from the input port, the MPPT device to adjust a power characteristic of the received power based on a determined type of the received power of the at least three different types of power sources, and the maximum power point tracking device to provide the output power to the charger, and the charger to provide power based on the adjusted power characteristic, wherein the MPPT device and the controller to dynamically tune impedance of the power source to achieve a maximum power output; a component to receive, from the charger, the power output having the adjusted power characteristic; and wherein the component is a voltage regulator to receive the power having the adjusted power characteristic and to provide a regulated voltage.
