Default Feed mode and battery back up
Hey guys I'm about to purchase a battery back up and another Mp40 to go with my mp10 and maxspec gyre, right now I have a RKL controller and when I feed or messing around cleaning the pumps or whatever use the standby mode which cuts the power to the plug in for 15 min (pretty standard)

Question is when I wire the Ecotech battery back-up into the mix won't the battery back up kick on when I use the controller to go into standby and just keep the pumps running ? Any idea's? Or am I going to have to manually shut off the power or standby both pumps if i want to go into feed mode ?

Or maybe I'm Crazy and this is the point of the back up

thanks
Craig Dillman
