later.
Next Learn Time Displays the number of days and hours left before the controller firmware initiates the
next learn cycle.

Starting A Learn Cycle
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
Select the Start Learn Cycle task to initiate the battery learn cycle.
The battery learn cycle discharges and then fully charges the controller battery.
The learn cycle recalibrates the battery-integrated circuit so that the controller can determine whether the battery can
maintain the controller cache for the prescribed period in the event of a power loss.
