Definition from
Electropedia - IEC:
method of charge applied to a battery wherein the state of charge is maintained by a continuous, long term, regulated small electric current
NOTE 1 – The trickle charge compensates self-discharge effects and maintains the battery in an approximately fully charged state.
NOTE 2 – The trickle charge is not suitable for some secondary battery types, for example lithium cells and batteries.
Example sentences:
As the charger senses the voltage rise and change when your batteries have reached a full charge, they will then automatically switch to compensation charge for about 30 minutes then to trickle charge which will keep your batteries fully charged until use. (Logic Battery)
The current rates used for trickle charging batteries are critical in maintaining a full charge and in preventing an overcharge condition. The importance of the trickle charge rate comes from the design, maintenance and operational requirements of an electrical power system. (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory )
Whether you are charging a new battery for your personal watercraft or plugging some juice into an old one over the winter, trickle-charging is the only method to use. (Boating Life)

charge d'entretien
Definition from
IEC - CEI:
Méthode de charge d'une batterie d’accumulateurs dans laquelle l’état de charge est maintenu par un faible courant électrique constant régulé à long terme.<br /><br />NOTE 1 – La charge d'entretien compense les effets d’auto-décharge et maintient la batterie approximativement à l’état de charge complète.<br /><br />NOTE 2 – Cette méthode de charge n'est pas adaptée pour certaines batteries d'accumulateurs, par exemple au lithium.
Example sentences:
Les chargeurs de batteries CTEK peuvent rester connectés pendant de longues périodes en mode protégé de charge d’entretien par impulsions. (Guide de référence - Batteries CTEK)
Pleine charge jusqu’à 13,8V, puis charge d’entretien. Le courant est au maximum en début de charge et diminue lorsque le témoin de la batterie approche 13.8V. (Généralités chargeurs de batteries)

charge de maintien
Definition from
own experience or research:
Charge lente pour éviter la surcharge et maintenir le niveau d'une batterie, principalement pour les batteries au plomb.
Example sentences:
Entièrement automatique, il réduit le courant de charge une fois la fin du cycle atteinte et passe en charge de maintien pour éviter toute surcharge (Vendeur de chargeurs de batterie)
