DEFINITION

Classification: 320/160

Multi-rate charging (e.g., plural charge rates before a maintenance charge, etc.):

(under subclass 137) Subject matter wherein the quantity of energy added per unit time (i.e., charge rate) is changed to another charge rate during a charge to rated capacity.

(1) Note. The change of charge rate, for purposes of placement in this subclass, does not include a change of rates from a charging to rated capacity and a rate employed only for keeping a battery or cell in a fully charged condition.
