# Handout: Framework Document P ublic Meeting (7/16/2009) Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies The following is a list of the types of information that DOE would evaluate as part of its analysis regarding the market, usage and technical details rela ted to battery chargers, external power supplies, and their accompanying applications, e.g., cellular te lephones, rechargeable power tools, routers, and handheld vacuums.For the following categories of information, DOE will primarily examine industry-wide BC/EPS data and marketwide shipment/lifetime data rather than data particular to a specific company or model. 

# Applications with Battery Chargers and/or External Power Supplies 1) Annual Shipments for Sale in U.S. (market size in units) 2) Average Useful Product Lifetime (years) 

# Applications with Battery Chargers 3) Nominal Battery Voltage (volts) 4) Nominal Battery Capacity (amp-hours) 5) Time to Full Charge from 100% Depth-of-Discharge (%) 6) Typical Charges per Week (charges/week) 7) Typical Depth of Discharge (%) Typical hours spent each week (hours/week) in the following modes (total=168 hours): 8) Active Mode (charging) 9) Maintenance Mode 10) No Battery Mode (standby) 11) Unplugged (disconnected from wall outlet and stowed) 

# Applications with Wall Adap ters/External Power Supplies 12) Range of Wall Adapter Nameplate Output Power (W) Typical wall adapter output power (Watts or as percent of nameplate output): 13) Active Mode (application operating) 14) Active Mode (application in standby) 15) Active Mode (application off) 16) No-Load Mode (application disconnected) Typical hours spent each week (hrs/wk) in the following states (total=168 hours): 17) Active Mode (application operating) 18) Active Mode (application in standby) 19) Active Mode (application off) 20) No-Load Mode (application disconnected) 21) Unplugged (disconnected from wall outlet and stowed) Information submitted to DOE will be treated in a manner consiste nt with the Freedom of Informat ion Act and all other applicabl e Federal law.
