To comply with International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations, never ship a lithium

Go to Install new battery.

Install new battery

You install a new battery into the controller canister to replace the failed one.
Step 1: Install new battery
Install a new battery when the old one has failed.
Before you begin
• You have the removed failed battery from the controller canister.
• You have the replacement battery.
Step 1. Unpack the new battery, and set it on a flat, static-free surface.
Important: To comply with IATA safely regulations, replacement batteries are shipped with a state
of charge (SoC) of 30 percent or less. When you reapply power, keep in mind that write caching will
not resume until the replacement battery is fully charged and it has completed its initial learn cycle.
Step 2. Orient the controller canister so that the slot for the battery faces toward you.
Step 3. Insert the battery into the controller canister at a slight downward angle. You must insert the metal
flange at the front of the battery into the slot on the bottom of the controller canister and slide the
top of the battery beneath the small alignment pin on the left side of the canister.
Step 4. Move the battery latch up to secure the battery. When the latch clicks into place, the bottom of the
latch hooks into a metal slot on the chassis.

Step 5. Turn the controller canister over to confirm that the battery is installed correctly.
Attention: Possible hardware damage – The metal flange at the front of the battery must be
completely inserted into the slot on the controller canister (as shown in the first figure). If the battery
is not installed correctly (as shown in the second figure), the metal flange might contact the
controller board, causing damage to the controller when you apply power.
