float charge
Explanation:

e.g.
Float Charge

A regulated voltage of no more than 13.8 volts and less than 1 amp of current is given to restore the battery to 100% of the full operational capacity. Green indicator light is ON.


Inspection

The battery is fully charged during this stage and is left for a 30-minute interval. After this period, the charger performs a check to determine whether or not the battery has held the charge. Should the battery fail to hold the charge, the charger returns to Stage 1 - Bulk Charging, and continues through the cycle an additional two times.


Final Float

A regulated trickle charge voltage of no more than 13.8 volts and less than 1 amp of current is given to maintain the battery at 100% of full operational capacity.

The float charge will not boil or heat batteries but will maintain the battery charge at 100% readiness and will prevent cycling during long-term inactivity
