Reconditioning A Battery; Making Buzzer Settings - Promise Technology 1000f series Product Manual

If the battery does not maintain normal values after a Recondition, replace the
battery. See "Replacing the Cache Battery" on page 324.
VessRAID automatically reconditions the battery every two months. To set the
schedule, see "Scheduling an Activity" on page 74.
When you install a new battery, the cycle count shows 0. VessRAID automatically
runs a recondition on the battery to verify it. If you restart the subsystem or
controller before reconditioning is finished, the battery is charged to 100%, then
reconditioning starts again.
