altered or disabled to allow the charging specified in paragraph 3.2.2.(b) below;

           (b) The REESS shall be charged by the external electricity supply equipment with the maximum charge current specified by the manufacturer. The charging shall be terminated when the vehicle's overcharge protection control terminates the REESS charge current. Where vehicle's overcharge protection control fails to operate, or if there is no such control, the charging shall be continued until the REESS temperature reaches 10 °C above its maximum operating temperature specified by the manufacturer. In the case where charge current is not terminated and where the REESS temperature remains less than 10 °C above the maximum operating temperature, vehicle operation shall be terminated 12 hours after the start of charging by external electricity supply equipment;

           (c) 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, with vehicle operation on a chassis dynamometer for discharging and with external electricity supply equipment for charging.

       3.2.3. Charge by connecting breakout harness (vehicle-based test).

       This procedure is applicable to vehicle-based tests for both externally chargeable vehicles and vehicles that can be charged only by on-board energy sources 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 as specified by the manufacturer. The trip current/voltage setting of the external charge-discharge equipment shall be at least 10 per cent higher than the current/voltage limit of the Tested-Device. The external electricity supply equipment is connected to the breakout harness. The REESS shall be charged by the external electricity power supply with the maximum charge current specified by the manufacturer;

           (b) The charging shall be terminated when the vehicle's overcharge protection control terminates the REESS charge current. Where vehicle's overcharge protection control fails to operate, or if there is no such control, the charging shall be continued until the REESS temperature is 10 °C above its maximum operating temperature specified by the manufacturer. In the case where charge current is not terminated and where the REESS temperature remains less than 10 °C above the maximum operating temperature, vehicle operation shall be terminated 12 hours after the start of charging by external electricity supply equipment;

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

       3.2.4. Charge by external electricity supply (component-based test).

       This procedure is applicable to component-based test:

           (a) The external charge/discharge equipment shall be connected to the main terminals of
