A maintenance charger (also called a float or smart charger), however, is a true plug- and-play product that takes the human error element out of the battery charging function. Maintenance chargers can be left connected to the battery indefinitely without risk of damage to the battery.Click to see full answer. Also, can trickle chargers damage battery?Leaving a battery connected to a trickle charger for too long can lead to overcharging, causing damage to the battery. Some trickle chargers do, however, offer an automatic function to switch to a float-mode once the battery is fully charged.Likewise, how does a battery charger works? A battery charger works by forcing a current through the battery in reverse direction so reverse (of that during discharging) chemical reactions occur at the electrodes, and it gets charged. Beside this, what should a battery charger read when fully charged? Plug the battery charger and switch it on. When the charger is switched on the needle of the meter moves to the desired amps, say ten amps. As the battery continues to charge, the needle moves down. When the needle has dropped to almost half of the desired amp, it means that the battery is fully charged.How do I know if my battery is maintenance free?With maintenance-free and gel cell batteries the only way to check the state of charge of the battery is by measuring the voltage. Disconnect the battery to be tested from the vehicle and other batteries. If the battery has just been charged or the vehicle driven, the surface charge needs to be removed before testing.
