Peak Shift can be used to minimize AC consumption during peak power
times of day. For each weekday listed, set a start and end time to run in
Peak Shift mode. During these times the system will run from the battery
even if the AC is attached as long as the battery stays above the
threshold specified in the Battery Threshold field. After the end time
specified the system will run from AC if attached but will not charge the
battery. The system will again function normally using AC and recharging
the battery after the Charge Start time is specified. This option is disabled
by default.
• Enable Peak Shift
This places all batteries in the system in Advanced Battery Charging
Mode to maximize battery health. In Advanced Charging Mode the
system will use standard charging algorithm and other techniques during
non-work hours to maximize battery health. During work hours express
charge is used so that the battery will be charged faster and therefore
ready to use again sooner. For each weekday, specify the time of day in
which the system will be most heavily used. Setting the Work Period to 0
means the system will only be lightly used that day. This option is
disabled by default.
• Enable Advanced Battery Charge Mode

in. The options are:
• Adaptive (Default settings)
• Standard
• Express Charge

charge .
