2.7.6 Time Reference
During normal operation, the eGauge maintains accurate time by synchronizing
with an NTP server, such as one of the public servers available at ntp.org. Since
NTP provides atomic-clock accuracy, there is usually no need to set the time man-
ually.
When the NTP server is not accessible, either temporarily (e.g., after a power
failure) or permanently (e.g., at a remote site), the eGauge relies on a battery-
backed real-time clock to maintain proper time.
The battery backup is designed only to cover relatively short power outages.
Specifically, after a week of charging, the battery is able to maintain proper time
for about one day. It takes about two months to fully charge the battery and, once
fully charged, the battery is able to maintain proper time for about a week. Should
the eGauge remain without power for longer than that, proper time will be lost.
