    Sincere thanks to Jim Kurtenbach , for the sound
     advice regarding cache batteries .

     I reproduce his advice below :

    If they are part of a production system, I don't mess
    around. I
    replace the
    batteries. I have bought the individual batteries
    (Hawker Energy
    Products
    X-Cells) and rebuilt the battery packs with new cells.

    Running them until the batteries fail is risky and can
    result in data
    loss... Think about all the volumes on this array.

    Yes, you can fool the controllers into thinking the
    batteries are good.
    Why
    would you do it though?

    Jim
