    Here's what I have from a recent backup file I had on hand at home. It came from the system.AFD file

    BATVOLTS.MAX, 90
    BATVOLTS.RED_HIGH, 90
    BATVOLTS.YELLOW_HIGH, 78
    BATVOLTS.YELLOW_LOW, 70
    BATVOLTS.RED_LOW, 68
    BATVOLTS.MIN, 67
    BATVOLTS.ENABLE, 1
    BATVOLTS.AUDIO, 1

    While I was at the airport two days ago, the EFIS did remain on after I shut off the master, and it did show the red bar on the bottom counting down to shut-off. The voltage when on battery power was still showing 2.6 volts, but it remained on until the timer ran out.

    It is supposed to remain on until the 30 second timer runs out, is it working correctly now?

    Rob, yes the last time I did a shut down, it worked correctly. However, please understand that from time to time it does not.
    I have not changed any of the settings or parameters either. I'll keep an eye out on it in the future.

    In the mean time, can you enlighten me about the 2.6 volts when running on the lithium batter. Is that too low ?

    The Volts gauge is not the lithium battery, it is the incomming power and the 2.6V is just what is left in the input capacitors.

    If it does not shutdown again take a picture of the screen and send us the system logs from it.
