Question 1

What is the date code on this battery?

Accepted Answer

I don't recall the actual date, but I do recall looking at it and determining it was indeed a new battery.   It's operational in a racked system and would be very difficult for me to get to it to look at the actual date.

Also, I learned after the fact, that there's a better option than a replacement battery.  It's a super-capacitor drop-in replacement, designed for this family of controllers.

A word of caution:  For our controller, which is a P800, two batteries (or super-capacitors) are required.   Check your specific controller manual closely.

Hope this helps.
