trickle charge
Slow battery replenishment
A trickle charge is a slow, continuous electrical charge applied to a battery to maintain its full capacity without overcharging.
The rate matches the battery's natural self-discharge: Leave the car on a trickle charge over winter.
The verb trickle charge describes applying such a charge: I've been trickle charging the motorcycle battery in the garage.
