Default Disabling "Battery Saver" mode?

I read the entire user manual (seriously). I didn't see anything regarding disabling the battery saver that requires the ignition be turned off when in accessory mode for longer than 30 minutes. Several times a month I do spend a few hours in my truck just sitting and listening to the radio. This battery saver gets really old, real quick. Does anyone have a hack to disable it? Thank you!

Remember when you could just change a battery...

I know it's possible to disable the power outlet time out. I disabled it using IDS.

I'm not aware of this "power outlet timeout" that you speak of...Could you elaborate? On the flip-side, I think that by turning off the 8" Touch display, it disables the Battery Saver...I think. Last night I had the display off and the BS (LOL) never activated. However, I was in and out of the vehicle several times, so I don't know if that affects it or not...I'll play around with it! Thanks for the replies, so far!
