Configuring the peakshiftcfg option

You can configure the Peak Shift battery charging mode using the peakshiftcfg option from the Power and Performance Management category. Using Peak Shift configuration, you can minimize the consumption of AC power during the peak power usage period of the day. You can set a start and end time for the Peak Shift period. During this period, the system runs on battery, if the battery charge is above the set battery threshold value. After the Peak Shift period, the system runs on AC power without charging the battery. The system functions normally by using AC power and recharging the battery at the specified Charge Start Time.

To configure the peak shift battery charging:

  1. Click the required option:
    • Create Multiplatform Package
    • Create Local System Package
    • Open a Saved Package
    • NOTE: To open a saved package, click Open a Saved Package, browse to the file location and click Open.
  2. Click Edit or double-click the option.
  3. In the peakshiftcfg option row, click View/Change in the Value to set column. The Dell Command | Configure - Peak Shift Battery Settings screen is displayed.
  4. Enable the peak shift settings option.
  5. Select the day of the week.
    • NOTE: To apply the same settings to all the days select the Apply these settings to other days check box.
  6. From the Operate only on battery drop-down list, select the time from when you want the system to operate only on battery.
  7. From the Operate only on AC drop-down list, select the time from when you want the system to operate only on AC.
  8. From the Resume normal power/charge drop-down list, select the time from when the system has to start using the AC power and recharging the battery.
    • NOTE: The system adjusts the value in the drop-down list to meet the following criteria: 

      • Operate only on battery time should be less than or equal to the time specified for Operate only on AC .

      • Operate only on battery time and Operate only on AC time should be less than or greater than the Resume normal power/charge time.

  9. Click OK.
    • NOTE: Select Apply these settings to other days check box to apply the same settings for all days of the week.
