What to bring to the review
- Exact battery, host and relevant charger revisions
- Confirmed requirements, proposed targets and unresolved questions kept separate
- A responsible owner and evidence location for each decision
6 responsibility boundaries in a home-appliance battery OEM project
Use a row with field number, requirement, responsible party, revision, evidence link and decision. Keep the original measurements or documents available to the authorized project team. Mark missing evidence as open; do not replace it with an estimated pass.
- 1. Cells and pack: identify selection, configuration, assembly and component-control responsibility.
- 2. Protection and sensing: define monitoring, cutoffs and the interfaces exposed to the appliance.
- 3. Charging: identify charge control, power-path management and input-source assumptions.
- 4. Host controller: define load sequencing, user indication, inhibition and fault recovery.
- 5. Mechanical integration: allocate enclosure, mounting, cable routing and service-access work.
- 6. Validation and change: agree system tests, document ownership and approval of later modifications.
Use the record to make a scoped decision
Use a matrix with one accountable owner, a named deliverable and an acceptance criterion for each boundary. For a coffee machine, explicitly allocate heater, pump and main-board interaction where included. Jinfan has its own PACK line and works with partners on BMS/protection, charging management and coffee-machine integration; confirm the actual project allocation.
Keep acceptance limits explicit
Partner collaboration does not mean every task is performed independently in-house. Company-level capability statements do not replace model-specific evidence.
Technical context and limits
TI compares charger and power-path arrangements and their operating behavior. Use this as technical background for architecture review, not as evidence that a particular appliance or Jinfan pack uses those devices.
