Zusammenfassung:	A method for controlling an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) having a battery includes powering a load coupled to the UPS using utility power, determining whether an energy cost associated with the utility power exceeds a threshold cost, determining whether a charge level of the battery exceeds a threshold charge level, and powering the load from the battery in response to determining that the energy cost exceeds the threshold cost and that the charge level of the battery exceeds the threshold charge level.
