You're correct. Force fail it, shut down, pull the battery plug, wait a min or two, plug it back in, all set. For fun, check the voltage while you wait. -- Justin C.

So I read the FAQ's, located a replacement battery, forced the failure on the battery, replaced it and all was well. I thought. Today we got an SRC 5703 8008 indicating the cache battery failed. So either I didn't replace the battery correctly OR the new battery has actually failed. I am guessing the former. Is there a way to trick the system into thinking that the battery was replaced? I am thinking that I can just run the -FORCE option on the BATTERYINFO macro to force the failure, remove the battery (I'll test it just in case) and then put the battery back in. Do I need to charge (or discharge) the battery to make it seem like it is a different battery or is just removing it for a few minutes to test it OK? Thanks, Pete Helgren
