54 | 12.0 Specifications 12.1 Auto-learning Battery Backup Times As batteries age, the estimated backup times may become less accurate. The S4KC is programmed to “learn” from a full battery discharge and then modify the estimated backup time for the measured battery capacity. This can improve accuracy and compensate for aging batteries or batteries that operate at different ambient temperatures.
