BATTERY LEARN CYCLE MANAGEMENT

In one aspect, an example methodology implementing the disclosed techniques includes, by a disk controller of a plurality of disks of a data storage system, collecting usage telemetry from the plurality of disks and initiating determination of one or more candidate time slots for performing a battery learn cycle using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained using the usage telemetry from the plurality of disks. The method also includes, by the disk controller, presenting one or more of the one or more candidate time slots for performing a battery learn cycle.
