Most places I hang around have only 5 to 10 minutes batter. We, NAC, usually plan on 10 minutes at full load, sometimes a little more. If your genset doesn't start and sync in 30 seconds, it's unlikely, that even with really good planning, that you'd get a rollup there, hooked up, etc., in time. Murphy wouldn't hear of it.
