#### **28.90.3 Charging Profiles During Flight**
**IN:** GPAM-AMPEL-0201-28-90-003
**S1000D DM:** AEHCS-BATT-CHG-01
**Content:**
1. **Charging Strategies:**
- **Dynamic Charging:** Adjust charging rates based on real-time energy availability from AEHCS and current battery SOC.
- **Priority Allocation:** Allocate energy to critical systems first (e.g., propulsion, avionics) before non-critical loads.
2. **Charging Rates:**
- **Normal Operations:** Up to 80% of maximum charging capacity.
- **Peak Operations:** Sustained high charging rates during high-energy demand phases (e.g., takeoff, rapid climb).
3. **Optimization Techniques:**
- **AI Integration:** Use of machine learning algorithms to predict optimal charging profiles based on flight conditions and energy forecasts.
- **Thermal Regulation:** Maintain battery temperatures within safe operating ranges during high-rate charging.
4. **Safety Measures:**
- **Overcharge Protection:** Automatic cutoff mechanisms to prevent overcharging.
- **Thermal Safeguards:** Active cooling during high-rate charging to prevent thermal runaway.
