German term or phrase: Bereitschaftsparallelbetrieb
This means that the battery is ready and is used if necessary, but other power sources are used generally.

"In einem autonomen Energiesystem hat die Batterie die
Funktion eines Energiepuffers zwischen den Verbrauchern
und den Stromquellen wie dem Ladegerät, den Solarzellen, dem Windgenerator oder der Lichtmaschine.
In der Praxis führt das zu einem sehr unregelmäßigen
zyklischen Mischbetrieb zwischen dem sogenannten
Bereitschaftsparallelbetrieb und dem reinen Batteriebetrieb und damit zu einer nicht ganz einfachen Systemauslegung. Im Bereitschaftsparallelbetrieb
sind die Verbraucher ständig mit der Batterie verbunden, die entladen, geladen und im Ladungserhaltebetrieb gefahren wird."

neutral  Ken Cox: OK for the term by itself, but 'standby'doesn't fit the context (which in combination with the 'sogenannten' may mean that the German term is being misused in the context).

  -> Would the same connotation not be rendered with "so-called" in English?
