# Charger Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You do not need to change the charger if your battery can be charged at the standard voltage and current levels provided by the builtin [IES-Synergy Elips 2000W](http://www.ies-synergy.com/en/chargers/onboard-sealed-chargers/elips-2000w) charger.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The Elips 2000W can charge with a final voltage of up to 60 V.
|
||
|
|
- Charge current can be set from 0 - 35 A in 5 A steps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It may be possible to configure the Elips in the future, at the moment you need to control the charge current and stop the charge process using the `setChargeCurrent()` [API call](../API.md), if your battery cannot cope with the Elips standard charge process.

## Using a custom charger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need or want to use a custom charger, take care not to remove the Elips 2000W from the Twizy without further consideration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Elips is operating with a specialized firmware and has a crucial role in the Twizy's control protocol.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can charge a custom battery directly without using the Elips, but for driving and 12V trickle charging the Elips needs to be connected to the battery and CAN bus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're interested in replacing the Elips: creating a "Twizy Virtual Charger" should be possible as well, but has to be done yet.
