Apple RAID card cache battery

[Scott Ribe]

It has died. (Not the problems I see in the forums with flaky cards or
taking forever on first charge. It has been installed and running for quite
a while, and successfully reconditioning every 3 months. Seems reasonable to
assume that the error report is accurate and it is really dead.)

I cannot find info on the specs; the Apple Store doesn't carry the
replacements; and I don't know where else to look. The only thing I found
via google was some place that was selling Apple batteries and they were
marked "used"! Like I'm going to buy a fricking *used* cache battery!!!

(Well, via google, I also found user instructions for replacing the battery.
So if I ever actually get my hands on a battery, I'm good to go.)

It is unclear (to me, at least), if you've taken it out and physically
viewed it - can you do that and google any alphanumeric chars on it?

No, I haven't pulled it yet. If no one knows where to get one, that's my
next step.

:stating obvious:

Did you think of contacting LSI and inquiring about a replacement?

No, because I did not know the actual manufacturer. This is the kind of clue
I need. Model would be helpful too ;-) (I'd hope to find that from pulling
the card, but who knows...)
