A trickle charge is a continuous
constant-current charge at a low (about C/100) rate which is
used to maintain the battery in a fully charged condition.
Trickle charging is used to recharge a battery for losses
from self-discharge as well as to restore the energy
discharged during intermittent use of the battery. This
method is typically used for SLI and similar type batteries
when the battery is removed from the vehicle or its regular
source of charging. Trickle charging is also used widely for
portable tools and equipment such as flashlights and battery
powered screwdrivers.
