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. Then, if the system is plugged in, it is powered by the direct power source; however, the battery will not charge until the peak shift ends.
Users can program the start and end times at which the peak shift feature is active and inactive each day.
NOTE: If the hours assigned to Peak Shift and Advanced Charge overlap, then Peak Shift takes priority. Batteries will not charge during Peak Shift hours.
