English term or phrase: battery capability
In smaller installations, full backup power by generator may not be available. In those instances, all equipment is to be installed in such a manner as to permit the in-line inclusion of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units. These units are to be of sufficient strength and battery capability as to permit 5 minutes up-time before shut-down and must be equipped with automated controlled shut-down capability.

autonomie de batterie


Explanation:
Dans ce cas précis, je parlerais d'autonomie de batterie car on parle du temps disponible pour sauvegarder les données, en l'absence de courant provenant du générateur.
