rd 2n in mo said: (quoted from post at 11:08:15 11/06/12) Why is it called a float charger?
To differentiate it from a trickle. Not at all the same 2 critters! even though some people incorrectly use the names interchangeably.
More:
Trickle means a trickle current is always going into the battery, regardless of whether it is fully charged or not. Bad part is that it will be out gassing & losing electrolyte.
Float is a much more carefully regulated charger output. The voltage is precisely regulated to a temperature compensated level equal to a fully charged battery & when battery reaches this level, the charger maintains that voltage level. If the battery slowly self discharges, then current will begin to flow until battery is back to full charge. It will stay fully charged without overcharging & out gassing as will occur with the simpler/cheaper trickle charger, which is always dumping some current into the battery, needed or not.
