Using the AdvanceBatteryChargeConguration feature

This feature allows you to congure AdvBatteryChargeCfg and AdvancedBatteryChargeConguration options in the PowerManagement

category. Advanced Battery charge mode uses a standard charging algorithm and other methods during nonworking hours to maximize

battery health. During working hours, ExpressCharge is used to charge the batteries faster. You can congure the days and the Work

Period during which you want the battery to charge.

NOTE: The conguration applies to all batteries: Primary, Slice, and Module Bay.

You can enable or disable Advanced Battery charge mode:

• Enabled — Enables AdvBatteryChargeCfg.

• Disabled — Disables AdvBatteryChargeCfg. If disabled, battery charging mode is based on Primary Battery Charge Conguration,

Battery Slice Charge Conguration, Primary Battery Custom Charge Start, and Primary Battery Custom Charge End.

To congure the AdvanceBatteryCharge time period, provide the following values:

• BeginningOfDay — Congures the AdvanceBatteryCharge start time in 24 hours format. The value of hour must be in the range 0–23

and minute must be 0, 15, 30, or 45.

• WorkPeriod — Congures the duration of charging.

For example, to set AdvancedBatteryChargeConguration from 7:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., set BeginningOfDay as 7:15 and set WorkPeriod as

7:15.

NOTE

: To set 12 a.m., provide the hour value as 00.
