This has been going back and forth for many days. It seems like the best solution would be to change the battery in the RAID card.
Is this the right approach or could this be indicative of something more serious with the RAID card itself?
Please advise.
Thanks!

Hi,
It probably is just right at the level of the trigger for the warning and is charging past it then dropping back below. You may also want to update the PERC firmware.
