RE: Impending cache battery pack failure

It must be about that time, this just happened to our 810 also.

subject: Impending cache battery pack failure

We had this message on the system console on our model 800 yesterday:

*Attention*  Contact your hardware service provider.

Which indicated that we will have to replace the battery soon.  How 
soon?  The disks are still showing in operational status so I am not 
sure what triggers the "impending" message.  Anybody have experience 
with actually waiting until it failed and how long that took?  I'd like 
to put off bringing the system down until the weekend but, if impending 
meant hours, I'd better get on it tonight.

Thanks,

Pete Helgren
