What is BS EN 62680-1-1 - USB battery charging about?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industry-standard that establishes specifications for cables, connectors and protocols for connection, communication and power supply (interfacing) between computers, peripherals and other computers.
IEC 62680 series discusses standards for universal serial bus interfaces for data and power. BS EN 62680-1-1 covers USB interfaces and USB battery charging specifications.
The Battery Charging Working Group is chartered with creating specifications that define limits as well as detection, control and reporting mechanisms to permit devices to draw current in excess of the USB 2.0 specification for charging and/or powering up from dedicated chargers, hosts, hubs and charging downstream ports. These mechanisms are backwards compatible with USB 2.0 compliant hosts and peripherals.
