Constant current charger

battery
charger

EN · machine-assisted draft

A charger that regulates its output to maintain a selected charging current during that operating stage. This differs from holding voltage constant. Gerry’s 1995 FAQ uses the term for automotive lead-acid charging; its historical settings are not a charging program for every modern camper battery.

Constant current describes one charging stage.
