disagree  Daryo: Reality check? This "equipment" is a rechargeable electrical battery - I wasn't aware that electrical batteries supplying 12V DC could be used in "subaquatic" mode - personally, I wouldn't try it, nor would want to be anywhere near if you fancy trying it!

agree  Daryo: yes - what is "floating" (i.e. going up or down as necessary) is the voltage of the charging current when in "maintenance mode".

Explanation:
En charge pendant de nombreuses années de la rédaction d'un catalogue d'accastillage, j'ai très souvent trouvé le terme "mode flottant" dans les catalogues de fournisseurs de batteries et d'équipements de charges.
Le terme "mode charge d'entretien" qui pourrait être remplacé par "mode entretien de la charge" est une définition du mode flottant qui active en alternance et automatiquement le mode charge et le mode veille afin décompenser l'autodécharge de la batterie.
Ce terme reste largement utilisé par les fabricants et importateurs de chargeurs de batterie (voir exemple ci-dessous) :
https://www.topchargeur-auto.fr/avis-black-decker-bdv090/
Le chargeur-mainteneur de batterie Black&Decker BDV090 ...
...Il dispose également d’une technologie de charge intelligente à haute fréquence pour maintenir vos batteries à un niveau de charge optimale. De plus, il bascule automatiquement du mode charge au mode flottant, pour maintenir votre batterie à un niveau optimal. Le courant de charge se régule seul et vous pouvez donc le laisser branché indéfiniment sur votre batterie sans risquer une surcharge.
