Not sure if it works with the 2763 but a temporary quick fix is to remove the battery. Leave it off for a bit, then put it back on. The card thinks you have swapped the battery and goes back to caching again for a time. (While the replacement shows up.)

I suppose if the battery was in fact failed (i.e. internally shorted) this trick is unlikely to work.

This past weekend during a V5R1 to V5R2 upgrade the Cache Backup Battery
on our 2763 DASD Controller Card went South. Without Cache, the AS/400
is about as fast a dead snail.
After waiting for 2 1/2 hours for IBM CE to arrive, we powered down the
box and the CE removed the card, only to find out that the battery on
the 2763's plug has 3 connections versus the normal 2, so 4 hours later
when a new card arrived (faster than the battery) we up and running
again.

If you have an 820 with a 2763 Card, you might what to check with your
IBM support person to verify they stock this battery.
