Rule 2 graded each battery against last cycle's command and graded charges too. On plantsim's battery (10 s lag) at the 2 s meter it warned at every drain or charge start and 15 times an hour under the peak guard at N=2; a charge tapering near full warned 11 times in 50 min (SAFETY-42 section 7). Now a discharge is graded against the least it stood at over SHORT_CYCLES / SHORT_SPAN_S. DOCS lists `mode-bound` under Loop reason. test_safety85 part 7: peak guard with a dead battery, lagging plant, taper; part 3: the bound ends with maintenance.
