Vortec Battery Backup Setting Question

[TinkL]

I was setting up my battery backup and noticed these setting and I’m just wondering what the on time / off time setting is for. I tried playing with and as you can see in the screenshot I set it to 0 but nothing seems to do anything and it only goes up to 59 minutes, so whats this setting do exactly?

I'm assuming you can conserve battery life during an outage by running less then 24 hours straight.

Its just strange that it wouldnt let me set it past an hour, unless its because it was just setup and the battery % was low

If you set power 25%
On time 5 min
Off time 15 min

The "On Time" will be the amount of time the pump runs, and the "Off Time" is the time the pump will spend off. So this will cycle the pump, running it for 5 minutes at 25%, and stopping for 15 minutes on repeat. The boosted battery settings overrides the Battery Backup Speed Setting.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!
