The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published patent application US20260088649A1, titled 'Adaptive Multi-Mode Charging'. This application, filed on September 25, 2025, describes an apparatus that includes a charger with at least one charger configured to accept an input voltage and selectively operate in a first mode to generate a first output voltage (greater or less than input) or a second mode to generate a second output voltage substantially equal to the input voltage.

As this is a patent application publication, it does not impose new regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on regulated entities. However, it signifies potential future technological developments in charging systems. Companies involved in power supply and charging technology may wish to review the application for competitive intelligence and to understand potential future patent landscapes in this area.
