This circuit simulates using a momentary button to latch on or off a P-channel MOSFET connected to a battery.

I used three pairs of time controlled switches to simulate momentary button presses at 1s, 2s, and 4s.

When on, an LED lights up. Additionally, there is a lower resistance path to ground to simulate a load on the battery.

This circuit is based on the one designed by GreatScott, as shown in his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1ROEogHF7A&t=415s
