May I make a suggestion here? For the price of that battery and the potential disaster if it were needed and actually bad, get another one!! Just not worth the few dollars saved.

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.

Subject: Cache Battery question

About 4 months ago I got a heads up that the cache battery on our model
800 was soon going to fail.  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
