Battery Pack - Life and Data Retention Time 
The Intel
®
 RAID Smart Battery software utilities use a counter to show the number of times the 
battery has been recharged. When replacing the Intel
®
 RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7, the 
Intel
®
 RAID BIOS Console 2 utility can be used to reset the counter to zero for the new battery. 
Intel recommends that you replace the Intel
®
 RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU7 once a year or 
after 500 recharging cycles, whichever comes first. The Smart Battery has a one-year warranty. 
The Smart Battery can retain data for about 72 hours (three days). This is approximate and can 
vary due to several factors, including charge level of the battery pack, the battery load, the 
ambient temperature, the age of the battery, and the number of discharge cycles associated 
with the battery. 
2.6.4 
Battery States 
The battery pack includes sensing logic that checks the battery voltage levels and recognizes 
the battery state. 
2.6.4.1 
Initialized State 
The battery is in the initialized state during a normal power-up sequence. In the RAID firmware, 
there are two levels of initialization:
