RELEX RBD: the best way to model a UPS standby battery in RBD

I've been told to use the battery maintenance to mimic the battery operating.However, the battery shows very high "downtime" after calculation. That because when putting 10-min operating into Maintenance with 3-hr recharging time as restoration, the RELEX treats 3-hr as downtime and must be completed when started this maintenance. In reality, if the battery is just used for 2-min, don't need 3-hr to fully recharge it. so "downtime" caused by this type of maintenance is exaggerated. Secondly, if I put "0" for restoration for this maintenance, then during simulation, RELEX will miss the case that battery can only last 10-min, in the event log, I see the battry "start-stop-start-stop" repeated for couple times.


Is this a bug from RBD? or I didn't model it correctly?
