   * WATCHDOG_POWER_SHUTDOWN_TIMER
-    * How long after detecting the input voltage to the Pi has failed before beginning to shut down the system and save any open data logs. This should be short enough that the battery on the watchdog/UPS addon does not expire, but long enough to keep the Pi from shutting down constantly in the middle of starting and stopping the engine multiple times in the space of a few seconds or minutes. This setting will keep the Pi running (from the watchdog battery) for this amount of seconds after the power has been turned off. **Reccomendation: 60-180 seconds**
