Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Racing Teams: Reinforced Build
Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Racing Teams: Reinforced Build
This is a worked specification for automotive battery charger in a reinforced build 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 reinforced build version exists because the duty cycle on racing teams is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Battery Charger |
|---|---|
| Application | Racing Teams |
| Version | Reinforced Build |
| Base material | Anodised Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 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 — Anodised Aluminium, 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
- injection moulding
- assembly line testing
- surface grinding
- precision stamping
- robot welding
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run reinforced build most often specify this build for racing teams. Related applications include dealership service, scooter fleets, city buses, utility trailers, courier fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 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
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
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.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
