- (1888PressRelease) September 09, 2016 - The US Department for Energy (DOE) has published the final rule regarding energy conservation in battery chargers. From June 13, 2018, all battery chargers manufactured within, or imported into, the USA, must comply with standard 10 CFR Part 430 - "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Battery Chargers".
