ication can be generated when a charging state
of the battery (indicated by the value of object
batteryChargingOperState) is triggered by an event other
than a write action to object batteryChargingAdminState.
Such an event may, for example, be triggered by a local
battery controller.

ication can be generated when the current charge
(batteryActualCharge) or the current voltage
(batteryActualVoltage) of the battery falls below a
threshold defined by object batteryAlarmLowCharge or object
batteryAlarmLowVoltage, respectively.
          
Note that, typically, this notification is generated in a
state where the battery is still sufficiently charged to keep
the device(s) that it powers operational for some time.
If the charging state of the battery has become critical,
i.e., the device(s) powered by the battery must go to a
'sleep' or 'off' state, then the batteryCriticalNotification
should be used instead.
          
If the low charge or voltage has been detected for a single
cell or a set of cells of the battery and not for the entire
battery, then object batteryCellIdentifier should be set to
a value that identifies the cell or set of cells.
Otherwise, the value of object batteryCellIdentifier should
be set to the empty string when this notification is
generated.
          
The notification should not be sent again for the same
battery or cell before either (a) the current voltage or
the current charge, respectively, has become higher than the
corresponding threshold through charging or (b) an indication
of a maintenance action has been detected, such as a battery
disconnection event or a reinitialization of the battery
monitoring system.
          
This notification should not be sent when the battery is in
a charging mode, i.e., the value of object
batteryChargingOperState is charging(2).

ication can be generated when the current charge
of the battery falls so low that it cannot provide a
sufficient power supply function for regular operation
of the powered device(s).  The battery needs to be charged
before it can be used for regular power supply again.  The
battery may still provide sufficient power for a 'sleep'
mode of a powered device(s) or for a transition into an 'off'
mode.
          
If the critical state is caused by a single cell or a set of
cells of the battery, then object batteryCellIdentifier
should be set to a value that identifies the cell or set of
cells.  Otherwise, the value of object batteryCellIdentifier
should be set to the empty string when this notification is
generated.
          
The notification should not be sent again for the same
battery before either the battery charge has increased
through charging to a non-critical value or an indication
          
of a maintenance action has been detected, such as a battery
disconnection event or a reinitialization of the battery
monitoring system.
          
This notification should not be sent when the battery is in
a charging mode, i.e., the value of object
batteryChargingOperState is charging(2).

ication can be generated when the measured
temperature (batteryTemperature) rises above the threshold
defined by object batteryAlarmHighTemperature or falls
below the threshold defined by object
batteryAlarmLowTemperature.
          
If the low or high temperature has been detected for a
single cell or a set of cells of the battery and not for the
entire battery, then object batteryCellIdentifier should be
set to a value that identifies the cell or set of cells.
Otherwise, the value of object batteryCellIdentifier should
be set to the empty string when this notification is
generated.
          
It may occur that the temperature alternates between values
slightly below and slightly above a threshold.  For limiting
the notification rate in such a case, this notification
should not be sent again for the same battery or cell,
respectively, within a time interval of 10 minutes.
          
An exception to the rate limitations occurs immediately
after the reinitialization of the battery monitoring system.
At this point in time, if the battery temperature is above
the threshold defined by object batteryAlarmHighTemperature
or below the threshold defined by object
batteryAlarmLowTemperature, respectively, then this
notification should be sent, independent of the time at
which previous notifications for the same battery or cell,
respectively, had been sent.

ication can be generated when the actual
capacity (batteryActualCapacity) falls below a threshold
defined by object batteryAlarmLowCapacity
or when the charging cycle count of the battery
(batteryChargingCycleCount) exceeds the threshold defined
by object batteryAlarmHighCycleCount.
          
If the aging has been detected for a single cell or a set
of cells of the battery and not for the entire battery, then
object batteryCellIdentifier should be set to a value that
identifies the cell or set of cells.  Otherwise, the value
of object batteryCellIdentifier should be set to the empty
string when this notification is generated.
          
This notification should not be sent again for the same
battery or cell, respectively, before an indication of a
maintenance action has been detected, such as a battery
disconnection event or a reinitialization of the battery
monitoring system.

ication can be generated when it has been
detected that a battery has been connected.  The battery
can be identified by the value of object batteryIdentifier
as well as by the value of index entPhysicalIndex that is
contained in the OID of object batteryIdentifier.

ication can be generated when it has been
detected that one or more batteries have been disconnected.
