An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for bypassing a voltage drop. A protection module allows electric current to flow from an electric power storage device to a load. The protection module prevents electric current from flowing to the electric power storage device. The protection module includes a voltage drop between the electric power storage device and the load. A power source detection module detects an absence of electric power from an electric power source. The electric power source provides electric current to the load when electric power from the electric power source is present. A bypass module bypasses the protection module and the voltage drop in response to the power source detection module detecting the absence of electric power from the electric power source. A conservation module delivers, to the load, electric current flowing through the power source detection module.
