Battery Notes
If a battery does not reflect normal conditions and it is not currently under
reconditioning, run the Recondition function before you replace the battery. See
“Reconditioning a Battery” on page 174.
Reconditioning fully discharges, then fully recharges the battery. During
reconditioning, if the Adaptive Writeback Cache function is enabled, the controller
cache is set to Write Thru. After reconditioning, the cache is reset to Write Back.
See “Making Controller Settings” on page 167.
If a battery reaches the threshold temperature while charging or discharging, the
charge or discharge pauses and the blower runs at high speed until the battery
temperature falls below the threshold.
If the battery does not maintain normal values after a Recondition, replace the
battery. See “Replacing a Cache Backup Battery” on page 252.
By default, VTrak automatically reconditions the batteries every two months.
When you install a new battery, the cycle count shows 0. VTrak automatically
runs a recondition on the battery to verify it. If you restart the subsystem or
controller before reconditioning is finished, the battery is charged to 100%, then
reconditioning starts again.
