deep cycle charger with floating/trickle charge mode


Explanation:
Once the battery is charged, the charger is usually turned off and turns back on when the the charge drops below a certain point. Alternatively, many chargers have a trickle charge option which continues to apply a small charge even when the battery is fully charged. This is supposed to keep the battery healthy, but uses more electricity.

neutral  Raúl Waldman: Me parece que un 'deep cycle charger' no es un cargador 'a fondo' sino un cargador para baterías del tipo 'deep cycle'.
1 hr
  -> A deep-cycle battery is designed to be totally discharged "a fondo" repeatedly and delivers steady current over a loonger period of time than a regulat battery that delivers a high charge over a few seconds.
