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, it might affect I/O performance. When the recondition is completed,
the battery’s cycle count increments by one.
Battery reconditioning is disabled by default. You can change the reconditioning status and 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.
