When the current drops to a low value, known as tail current the battery is full. At this point the charger goes into float mode. Float, use a lower voltage to maintain the charge, but not at such a high level as to wear the battery out prematurely. You can look at it another way, battery will charge at float voltage, but very slowly.
Battery float charging is a process in which a battery is constantly maintained at its full charge level, preventing it from overcharging or discharging. It involves applying a constant voltage to the battery to compensate for any self-discharge and keep it ready for immediate use. How does battery float charging work?
At this point the charger goes into float mode. Float, use a lower voltage to maintain the charge, but not at such a high level as to wear the battery out prematurely. You can look at it another way, battery will charge at float voltage, but very slowly. So we increase the voltage for a while to charge it more quickly. Then lower it.
The float charge voltage level is set slightly above the battery’s fully charged state to compensate for self-discharge. The voltage level ensures that the battery remains fully charged while minimizing the risk of overcharging, which can cause damage to the battery’s plates and electrolyte.
A float STANDBY battery is a battery that is maintained at 100% state of charge using a float charge voltage, ready to support an attached load immediately should the mains supply fail.
Float charging operates by applying a constant voltage to the battery that matches its self-discharge rate. When a battery is not in use, it tends to lose its charge over time due to internal chemical reactions. Float charging compensates for this by providing a continuous low-level charge to counteract the self-discharge.
