The PERC battery should be entirely unrelated to the fan speed. I'd still recommend replacing it, though.
As for the fans, you might try performing a power drain by unplugging power from the server, then holding the power button down for about 30 seconds, then powering it back up. If that doesn't work, you can try an NVRAM clear (but this also resets the BIOS to defaults). You can refer to the owner's manual for the location of the jumper on the board, but you'll want to move the jumper to cover the common and outside pins, power up, power down, and return the jumper to the default position. You can then bring it back up as normal. If this also doesn't fix the issue, I would begin to suspect the motherboard as being at fault.

If those two steps didn't help, I would suspect a faulty motherboard.
