The Next Era For Standby Float

The demands of customers involved in standby float (often referred to as stable grid) applications are ramping up dramatically. Here a float charge is used to constantly maintain the batteries in a full state of charge (SoC) condition – so that they are ready to respond to any interruptions in the mains supply, should that occur, and the connected load can still be supported. In the past, it was mainly the lifespan of batteries that mattered for such applications. Now, expectations are being raised in relation to other properties.
