The detailed description for each command follows.
storcli /cx/bbu show
This command shows the summary information for the BBU of a controller.
Input example:
storcli /c0/bbu show
storcli /cx/bbu show all
This command shows all the information of the BBU.
Input example:
storcli /c0/bbu show all
storcli /cx/bbu set autolearnmode=<value>
This command starts the automatic learn cycle on the battery. The possible values are 0 - Enabled, 1- Disabled, and
2 - WarnViaEvent.
Input example:

storcli /cx/bbu set bbuMode=<value>
This command sets the BBU mode for the BBU. The following table shows the various BBU modes:
NOTE To increase the life of a battery, the battery is not fully charged. Band
Gap charging keeps the maximum battery charge within a band
comfortably above the data retention time requirement instead of
keeping the battery charged to the maximum level. However, when a
learn cycle is required, the battery is fully charged because a learn
cycle starts only once the battery is fully charged.
