The purpose of the external battery adapter is to support the power supply of the HSM. The HSM always requires power, even if the Next Generation Hardware Appliance has not been put into operation or is not supplied with power. The HSM's internal battery is not designed to be inactive for long periods of time. To prevent the HSM from being completely discharged and thus put into maintenance mode, use the external battery adapter to buffer the internal HSM battery and extend its service life when the appliance is switched off. This is useful, for example, if a Next Generation Hardware Appliance is operated as an offline (root) CA.
