What is a battery charger float charge?

A. This is a low charge rate that is applied to the battery after charging is complete and the fully charged battery is in storage in the battery charger. NiMh and NiCd batteries can loose a slight amount of capacity daily, around 1%, depending on environmental factors. The float charge is a charge level that is low enough to prevent overcharging, but still keep the battery fully charged.
