Product overview
Battery Charger, when used in stand by application is not a standalone dedicated Battery Charger. In standby application a Battery charger along with a floating Battery provide uninterrupted DC power supply to a critical DC load. This is Float-cum-boost battery charger or FCBC feeds the critical load without any break and also charges the discharged battery.
Though FCBC denotes “Float-cum-Boost” which clearly means single rectifier/converter but for higher capacity or higher load “Float-and-Boost” charger is used which has two rectifiers, one for feeding the load and another for charging battery etc.

How a Float Cum Boost Battery Charger Works
A float cum boost battery charger in India doesn't operate in isolation; it sits at the heart of the DC power system. Under normal conditions, the float cum boost battery charger in India takes AC power and rectifies it to DC. The battery operates under two conditions: it feeds the connected critical DC load and simultaneously holds the standby battery bank at its float voltage. The best part about the Float/Boost Charger is that it commonly does not work when the main is healthy. However, it takes the full charge right after the AC is lost. This quick transition prevents damage to the contractor, delays, and interruptions.
How to Choose the Right Float Cum Boost Battery Charger for Your Requirements?
Many business organisations struggle to choose the right float cum boost battery charger. This can waste investment. Selection isn't based on a single factor. Considering factors like required DC voltage, battery capacity, connected load requirements, installation environment, and application type is essential. Experts also evaluate essential information such as input supply, output voltage, and charging current capacity. Also consider battery compatibility, protection features, and future expansion needs to prevent operational delays. This step plays a key role in controlling the success rate of investment. The right battery charger offers optimal performance and requires less upkeep. In the long run, it keeps operations running smoothly. Connect with us for a detailed, personalised quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do the float charger and boost charger work separately?
They work simultaneously for smoother operation; however, they cover different functions. For instance, the float charger supplies a low charging current continuously to maintain the right charge level. On the other hand, the boost charger helps to recharge a discharged battery quickly.
2) In which sectors the float cum boost battery chargers commonly used?
A float cum boost battery charger is widely used in sectors such as electrical substations, power plants and generating stations, telecommunication hubs, industrial manufacturing plants and hospitals and healthcare facilities. In these facilities, float mode helps top up the DC actively. On the other hand, boost mode quickly recharges the battery for uninterrupted service.
3) How can I choose the right float cum boost battery charger in India for my business operations?
You need to consider several factors. These include the required DC voltage, battery capacity, connected load requirements, installation environment, and application type. To choose the right option, also evaluate input supply, output voltage, charging current capacity, battery compatibility, protection features, and future expansion needs. If you are unsure how to consider all these details, connect with us at Electro Service India. With a strong team, we offer tailored advice that adds value to the investment.
4) What type of battery should I use with a float cum boost charger?
The compatibility largely depends on the design. However, this charger goes perfectly with industrial battery banks such as lead-acid and/or VRLA.
