There are three battery run modes: Normal Battery Run Mode, Alternate Battery Run Mode,
and Continuous Battery Run Mode.
Normal Battery Run Mode –While in normal battery run mode, all battery voltage Optimized
Idle starts are two hours long. This mode is customer selectable by setting the Alternate Time to
0, the default mode as listed in Table 5-57.

Alternate Battery Run Mode –This mode is allowed only when the Alternate Time is set to a
non-zero value. This parameter is customer selectable. While in Alternate Battery Run Mode, all
voltage starts are based on Alternate Time unless a critical battery restart event is detected. A
critical battery restart event is detected when the engine starts and runs to recharge the battery
for the alternate time and then detects another battery start within one hour after the engine
stops. At this point, the run time will change to two hours. The Alternate Battery Run Mode
parameters are listed in Table 5-58.

selectable. The parameters for Continuous Battery Run Mode are listed in Table 5-59. A fault
code is logged when this move is initiated (PID 168 FMI 14).
