RE: 2782 PCI-X Raid Disk Cotroller - batteries for cache battery pack

FWIW I am looking at one right now - P/N 44L0313 3.6v 1500mAh NiMH - there's a 
bunch of them if you google on that - prices are $7-20 but who knows about 
warranty - the pack from IBM is supposed to last 3 years, unless you get in a 
warm environment - then the life is adjusted.

Yeah, they have batteries for us now as well. I raised a stink with my 
IBM rep, er, Channel Partner Manager, that IBM EU had the batteries but 
the US didn't. IBM's internal processes must be really bad if they 
can't do a timely inventory transfer: Grab a few dozen batteries and 
2-day ship them to the States for re-distribution to the regions/CEs.

Perhaps IBM's battery shortage has been alleviated. My IBM CE said I 
was SOL until late in March. Now he has them in and is waiting on me. 
(Since our's is just in warning state and not scheduled to hit 
"degraded" until after our next scheduled downtime - it's just going to 
have to wait.

2782 PCI-X Raid Disk Cotroller - batteries for cache battery pack 






I'm heading off to St Lucia Wednesday morning for an upgrade on a model 
800 (it's a tough job but someone has to do it ;-) ) and I just found 
out 
they don't have their failed disk cache battery on a 2782 PCI-X Raid 
Disk 
Controller replaced yet. Does anyone happen to know what sort of Ni-Mh 
batteries are shrink wrapped inside IBM's little magic price increasing 
plastic on the 2782 card - maybe a type I can buy somewhere and tape 
together myself ? 

IBM Barbados are being difficult about just selling them a battery pack 
and insist they pay them labor and US$60 freight in addition to US$152 
they want for the battery pack.
