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.

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. The external supply of electricity recharges the disabled vehicle's battery and provides some of the ...
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus [a] are smartphones that were designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the tenth generation of the iPhone.They were announced on September 7, 2016, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco by Apple CEO Tim Cook, and were released on September 16, 2016, succeeding the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus as the flagship ...
Inductive charging. The primary coil in the charger induces a current in the secondary coil in the device being charged. Inductive charging (also known as wireless charging or cordless charging) is a type of wireless power transfer. It uses electromagnetic induction to provide electricity to portable devices. Inductive charging is also used in ...
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 charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the ...
State of charge ( SoC) quantifies the remaining capacity available in a battery at a given time and in relation to a given state of ageing. [ 1] It is usually expressed as percentage (0% = empty; 100% = full). An alternative form of the same measure is the depth of discharge ( DoD), calculated as 1 − SoC (100% = empty; 0% = full).
The main battery is either absorbent glass mat (AGM) or enhanced flooded battery (EFB) technology, [10] both supporting an increased number of charging cycles and increased load. This is important because all the car's electrical system must be maintained by the battery after the alternator stops generating current. Often the battery will be ...
Sleep mode (or suspend to RAM) is a low power mode for electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and remote controlled devices. These modes save significantly on electrical consumption compared to leaving a device fully on and, upon resume, allow the user to avoid having to reissue instructions or to wait for a machine to boot.
