Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies 
Abstract: In addition to the existing general definition of "external power supply," the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) defines a "class A external power supply" and sets efficiency standards for those products. EISA directs DOE to publish a final rule to determine whether the standards set for class A external power supplies should be amended. EISA also requires DOE to issue a final rule prescribing energy conservation standards for battery chargers, if technologically feasible and economically justified or to determine that no energy conservation standard is technically feasible and economically justified.
