The learning cycle occurs by default every 90 days, but if it is needed more often than that, you have a firmware, riser, or battery problem. The battery, for obvious reasons, could be bad. The riser, as the other side of the connection for the battery, could also be bad. The firmware of the RAID controller is what actually manages the battery state, so it would be highly recommended to update your system firmware (BIOS, ESM/BMC, and RAID) before replacing anything, to be sure it is not just a bug in the firmware.
Thanks for the reply. Checked that, sorry I omitted that info. That was one of the few things that came back during the web search. Always a good idea to stay current on the firmware.
Had the same issue and we pulled the battery out of the server, completely. Once the battery was out we rebooted the server and I sat on the battery to keep it warm. Which did nothing to fix the problem, but it did lower my self-esteem.:emotion-17:
