Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Two-Piece Construction
Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Two-Piece Construction
This is a worked specification for automotive battery charger in a two-piece construction 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 two-piece construction version exists because the duty cycle on utility trailers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Battery Charger |
|---|---|
| Application | Utility Trailers |
| Version | Two-Piece Construction |
| Base material | Powder Coated Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 4 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
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
- anodising
- heat treatment
- ultrasonic cleaning
- injection moulding
- rubber vulcanisation
- cold forging
Where this example applies
Programmes that run two-piece construction most often specify this build for utility trailers. Related applications include dealership service, camper conversions, aftermarket retail, agricultural trailers, three-wheelers.
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 ECE R90-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 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 1000 pieces per line.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
