The system is not under maintenance.
I have a local battery place similar to Batteries+. I would just schedule
it for a Saturday to shut down, drive there, hope they can make/order a
battery, drive back, and replace the battery. If I have to order a battery
then just do another shut down. Doing a location search I saw that there is
a Batteries+ near me so if the first battery place does not have it then I
can always try Batteries+.

It should be covered by hardware maintenance. It is on our systems.
Failing that you can take the old battery pack to Batteries+ (
http://www.batteriesplus.com/ ) and they'll build a replacement.
Warning, though, that the B+ by me takes 7-10 days to do the build so you
may have to run w/o cache, i.e. "degraded", for a bit and have 2 maintenance
windows (1 to remove the old, 1 to install the new).

Subject: RAID Cache Battery Source
Hello,
On our 520 we just started getting a RAID Cache Battery warning stating we
have 79 days before failure. The system has a 5709 RAID card and the
battery part number is 42R5070. Anybody have any sources on where I can
obtain the battery? Via a couple of sources I've not had any luck in
finding one. I'd like to replace the battery on a weekend. Worse case I
shut the system down (after flushing cache of course) and pull the old one
out and cross reference it to something else.
Thanks
Fred Horvat
