The BCU provides charging current to the batteries during normal AC powe r oper at ion at a maxi mum of ab out 0. 5 amp. Dur in g ba tt er y operation, the BCU discontinues battery operation if AC power is restored o r the battery voltage is too low to maintain proper system operation. The time the system operates on batteries is dependent on several eleme nts, including: batte ry charge state, condition of the b atte ries , capacity of the batteries, and the system size (number of station ports).
