Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Folding Type
Automotive Battery Charger Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Folding Type
This is a worked specification for automotive battery charger in a folding type 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 folding type version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually documentation that arrived after the container shipped.
Example specification
| Item | Automotive Battery Charger |
|---|---|
| Application | Fleet Maintenance |
| Version | Folding Type |
| Base material | Bronze |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.2 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 200 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 — Bronze, 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
- ultrasonic cleaning
- gravity casting
- surface grinding
- sintering
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run folding type most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include fleet maintenance, boat trailers, dealership service, camper conversions, agricultural trailers.
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
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
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.
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.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. IATF 16949 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
