Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Sealed Unit
Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Delivery Vans: Sealed Unit
This is a worked specification for automotive battery charger in a sealed unit programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The sealed unit version exists because the duty cycle on delivery vans is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Battery Charger |
|---|---|
| Application | Delivery Vans |
| Version | Sealed Unit |
| Base material | Powder Coated Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

| MOQ | 2,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 5 days per revision |
| Compliance | IATF 16949 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Powder Coated Steel, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- rubber vulcanisation
- powder coating
- sintering
- surface grinding
- assembly line testing
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run sealed unit most often specify this build for delivery vans. Related applications include city buses, rental motorcycles, agricultural trailers, courier fleets, racing teams.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the IATF 16949-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 2000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
