As mentioned above, the power-receiving apparatus 50 is, for example, but not limited to, a portable mobile apparatus (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, etc.). When the user is outdoors, the user can plug a mobile phone, a power bank, or an electric bicycle (i.e., the power-receiving apparatus 50) into the charger 22 of the power integration circuit 20 installed inside another electric bicycle for charging, the battery 30 supplies (provides) the power required by the mobile phone through the charger 22 to charge the mobile phone, the power bank, or the electric bicycle.

When the electric bicycle is not in the riding state and no DC power (the USB-PD DC power) provided by the DC power apparatus 40 charges the battery 30, the battery 30 is charged by the power provided from the power-receiving apparatus 50 (i.e., the mobile phone, the power bank, or the electric bicycle). For example, when the user rides the electric bicycle outdoors and the battery 30 cannot provide the power required by the electric bicycle, the battery 30 can be charged by the power provided from the power-receiving apparatus 50 so that the electric bicycle can be ridden in a short time to the nearest place with the DC power apparatus 40 to be fully charged.
