Hi i found something may help you.

"standbydelayhigh and standbydelaylow specify the delay, in seconds, before writing the hibernation image to disk and powering off memory for Standby. standbydelayhigh is used when the remaining battery capacity is high, and standbydelaylow is used when the remaining battery capacity is low."
