# Pre-Install Checklists

Before any DeCharge device can be installed and commissioned, whether via delegated operations or self-deployment, it must pass a site readiness evaluation. This ensures the charger performs safely, remains online consistently, and earns rewards reliably.

To streamline this process, we provide dedicated pre-installation checklists for each charger type. Completing these accurately is a mandatory step before scheduling installation or commissioning.

**Why Pre-Install Checks Matter**

* Ensures grid compatibility and electrical safety
* Validates internet reliability
* Prevents installation delays or equipment failures
* Enables smooth onboarding to the DeCharge backend
* Minimizes future maintenance requirements

Each checklist is designed to match the physical, electrical, and environmental requirements of a specific charger model: Mini (3.3 kW), Beast (7.4 kW), or Titan (60 kW). Checklists for upcoming hardware like the Titan Mini and Titan (30/60 kW) include additional fields based on use case.
