2. Trickle charging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle_charging

   Trickle charging. Trickle charging means charging a fully charged battery at a rate equal to its self-discharge rate, thus enabling the battery to remain at its fully charged level; this state occurs almost exclusively when the battery is not loaded, as trickle charging will not keep a battery charged if current is being drawn by a load. [1][2 ...

3. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

   Jump starting a vehicle. Crocodile clips, also called automotive clips, on a set of jumper cables. A jump start, also called a boost, is a procedure of starting a motor vehicle (most commonly cars or trucks) that has a discharged battery. A temporary connection is made to the battery of another vehicle, or to some other external power source.

4. Automobile auxiliary power outlet - Wikipedia

   For instance, portable solar battery maintainers generally connect to a vehicle's battery in this manner. Trickle chargers also sometimes connect in this way, eliminating the need to leave a vehicle's hood open, as well as eliminating the possibility of reversed polarity. Most cars nowadays are designed with a battery-negative earthing system ...

5. Battery charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

   Battery charger. Charging a 12 V lead–acid car battery. A mobile phone plugged in to an AC adapter for charging. A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1][2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage, current, for how long and what to do when ...

6. Float voltage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_voltage

   Float voltage is the voltage at which a battery is maintained after being fully charged to maintain that capacity by compensating for self-discharge of the battery. [1] The voltage could be held constant for the entire duration of the cell's operation (such as in an automotive battery) or could be held for a particular phase of charging by the charger. [2]

7. Electric car charging methods - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_charging_methods

   Constant voltage. Constant voltage charging is a widely used charging method involving constant voltage between the battery poles. The starter battery uses constant voltage charging when the vehicle is running. If the specified voltage constant value is appropriate, it can ensure that the battery is fully charged, while also minimizing gas and ...
