Conguring the peakshiftcfg option
You can congure the Peak Shift battery charging mode using the peakshiftcfg option from the Power and Performance Management
category. Using Peak Shift conguration, you can minimize the consumption of AC power during the peak power usage period of the day.
You can set a start and end time for the Peak Shift period. During this period, the system runs on battery if the battery charge is above the
set battery threshold value. After the Peak Shift period, the system runs on AC power without charging the battery. The system functions
normally by using AC power and recharging the battery at the specied Charge Start Time.
