1. A charging method comprising:
- detecting, by a computer processor of a computing apparatus, a frequency signal associated with an input voltage signal used for powering power consumption devices at a first specified location;
monitoring, by said computer processor, said frequency signal;
generating, by said computer processor, frequency level data associated with said monitoring;
receiving, by said computer processor from a first user, a request to enable a charging process for charging a rechargeable power source;
receiving, by said computer processor, first power source data associated with said rechargeable power source and said first user;
receiving, by said computer processor, calendar entry data associated with current and future plans of said first user;
receiving, by said computer processor, electrical cost data associated with current electrical costs with respect to off peak electrical costs and future electrical costs;
receiving, by said computer processor, operation data associated with a specified time that said apparatus is required for operation; and
enabling, by said computer processor based on said frequency level data, said calendar entry data, said electrical cost data, said operation data, and said first power source data, a first customized charging process associated with said charging said rechargeable power source, wherein said first customized charging process comprises automatically postponing a first charge cycle for a first specific time period.

Abstract
A charging method and system. The method includes detecting and monitoring by a computer processor, a frequency signal associated with an input voltage signal used for powering power consumption devices at a first specified location. The computer processor generates frequency level data associated with the monitoring. The computer processor receives a request to enable a charging process for charging a rechargeable power source and power source data associated with the rechargeable power source and a user. In response to the request, the computer processor enables a customized charging process associated with charging the rechargeable power source based on the frequency level data and/or the power source data.
