Yikes!. Ive been in this business for 35 years and never heard that. Im going to guess they are meaning float or equalization. Basic its just a maintaining, or making the batteries at the same voltage level.

Is your google broken?

The ABSORPTION stage (the remaining 20%, approximately) has the charger holding the voltage at the charger's absorption voltage (between 14.1 VDC and 14.8 VDC, depending on charger set points) and decreasing the current until the battery is fully charged. Some charger manufacturers call this absorption stage an equalization stage. We don't agree with this use of the term. If the battery won't hold a charge, or the current does not drop after the expected recharge time, the battery may have some permanent sulphation.

FYI, Tomberlin is not Delta Q these days. They come equipped now with the Lester Summit on board charger, which is made in the US out of Georgia.

Prior to May 1 this past year, they came with the Lester Summit, but since May 1, they come with the Lester Summit II charger. The bonus is that the Summit II is equipped with Bluetooth to be able to read your charger data from your smartphone. I attached the page from the Lester manual on this.
