Peak Shift is an optional feature that reduces power consumption by automatically switching the system to battery power during certain times of the day, even if the system is plugged into a direct power source. After Peak Shift begins, the system will run on battery power until the combined charge level of all batteries reaches a minimum threshold. See Enabling Peak Shift for instructions on how to change these settings. At that time, if the system is plugged in, it will be powered by the direct power source; however, the battery will not charge until Peak Shift ends.
Users can program the start and end times at which the Peak Shift feature is active and inactive each day.
