Functionality
The function of this battery is to allow the Atlas controller a safe shutdown in case of the main power supply failure.
The power supply and the NiMH battery levels are monitored by the firmware.
When there is a power supply failure, the firmware close the serial channel and other peripherals to preserve all the NiMH
battery charge to manage the database. When also the NiMH battery level is too low, the firmware closes all the
databases and make a safe shutdown.
This battery is not used as power back-up system in absence of the power supply.
The NiMH battery can last up to half an hour without power supply depending on the Atlas configuration and connected
devices.
