altered or disabled to allow the overcurrent level determined through consultation with the manufacturer;

           (b) Charging of the REESS by the external DC electricity supply equipment shall be initiated to achieve the highest normal charge current specified by the manufacturer. The charge current is then increased over 5 seconds from the highest normal charge current to the overcurrent level determined in accordance with paragraph 2.(c) above. Charging is then continued at this overcurrent level;

           (c) The charging shall be terminated when the functionality of the vehicle's overcurrent protection terminates the REESS charge current or the temperature of the REESS is stabilized such that the temperature varies by a gradient of less than 4 °C through 2 hours;

           (d) Immediately after the termination of charging, one standard cycle as described in Annex 9, Appendix 1 shall be conducted, if it is not prohibited by the vehicle.

       5. Overcurrent during charging using breakout harness.

       This test procedure is applicable to REESS for vehicles that have the capability of charging by DC external electricity supply and for which the manufacturer provides information to connect a breakout harness to a location just outside the REESS that permits charging of the REESS:

           (a) The breakout harness is connected to the vehicle or REESS as specified by the manufacturer;

           (b) The external electricity supply equipment along with the overcurrent supply is connected to the breakout harness and charging of the REESS is initiated to achieve the highest normal charge current specified by the manufacturer;

           (c) The charge current is then increased over 5 seconds from the highest normal charge current to the overcurrent level determined in accordance with paragraph 2.(c) above. Charging is then continued at this overcurrent level;

           (d) The charging shall be terminated when the functionality of the vehicle's overcurrent protection terminates charging or the temperature of the Tested-Device is stabilized such that the temperature varies by a gradient of less than 4 °C through 2 hours;

           (e) Immediately after the termination of charging, one standard cycle as described in Annex 9, Appendix 1 shall be conducted, if it is not prohibited by the vehicle.

       6.  The test shall end with an observation period of 1 hour at the ambient temperature conditions of the test environment.
