Click the Batteries object to view information about your system’s installed
batteries. Batteries maintain the time and date when your system is turned

the system to reboot efficiently. The Batteries object action window can have
the following tabs, depending on the user’s group privileges: Properties and
Alert Management.

your system’s batteries.

following tabs, depending on the user's group privileges: Properties and
