CHARGING STOP REASON TROUBLESHOOTING During charging, the vehicle requests for voltage & current and the charger delivers the same by limiting the current as per requested current. However, charging may be stopped/interrupted by various reasons. Charging can be stopped by the charger, the vehicle or by any other means. Charger generates stop reason based on the nature of the cause of why the charging stops.
