Reconditioning a Battery
Batteries maintain power to the controller cache in the event of a power failure,
thus protecting any data that has not been written to a physical drive.
Reconditioning is the action of discharging and recharging a battery to preserve
its capacity and performance.
Reconditioning is a background activity and does not affect I/O performance.
When the recondition is completed, the battery’s cycle count increments by one.
By default, each battery is reconditioned every two months. You can change the
reconditioning schedule.
To recondition a battery immediately:
1. Click the Device tab.
2. Click the Component List icon.
3. Click the battery you want, then click the Recondition button.
Battery operations status changes to “Recondition” and the battery’s remaining
capacity and estimated hold time fall and rise reflecting the discharge and
recharge cycles of the reconditioning. That behavior is normal.
Making Schedule Changes
To make changes the scheduled battery reconditioning:
1. Click the Administration tab.
2. Click the Background Activities icon.
The list of Background Activities displays.
3. Click the Scheduler button.
4. Mouse-over Battery Reconditioning and click the Settings button.
Caution
Disabling or deleting the battery recondition schedule is NOT
recommended.
