A patent application (Publication Number: US20240017061A1) describes a method for preparing an electroporation device for delivering an electroporation treatment. The method involves delivering a charge current from at least one battery through a charge circuit to a supercapacitor unit, charging the supercapacitor unit while measuring input parameters of the charge current, and transitioning the charge current between different charge states based on the measured parameters. The process is automatically controlled by a control unit executing machine-readable instructions. The method includes adjusting the magnitude of the charge current and transitioning between primary charge states to optimize the charging process efficiently.

Furthermore, the patent application details the specific input parameters measured during the charging process, such as battery voltage, boosted voltages, and charging duration. The method also includes transitioning the charge current to a top-off charge state after the supercapacitor unit reaches a full charge level, indicating that the device is treatment ready. The patent application also describes the communication of indication signals to the user, including optical signals through LED displays and audible signals through a speaker. Additionally, the application discusses a power supply unit for the electroporation device, which includes a battery unit, energy storage unit, integrated circuit, and charge circuit. The power supply unit is designed to work with different types of batteries, measure input parameters, and adjust the charge current accordingly to optimize the charging process for the supercapacitor unit within the electroporation device.
