VIEWING BATTERY ACTIVITY
Controlling When Battery Measurements are Taken and How They Appear
By default, measurements of battery voltage, impedance and temperature are taken once every seven days.
(Measurements are also taken immediately when a battery discharges power; for example when the main power supply
fails and the battery backup system takes over.) You can change the frequency of battery measurements through the
Controller Settings window.
By default, the scale, or Y-axis, of the battery measurement graph has been set to what is considered to be an
appropriate range. However, if you want to see more detail, you can spread the range over a greater area.
