It backs the controller's write cache during power loss, holding data in DRAM until the drives can flush. Voltage and footprint match OEM part numbers 25R8076, 25R8075, 25R8088, and BAT-00007-01-A Rev A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServerRAID 8K and 8K SAS compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both controllers share the same 3.7V single-cell backup rail and use the same physical connector and BMS handshake protocol. One cell fits both variants without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this cell on an 8K controller under simulated cache load. The BMS accepted the cell, reported a valid voltage, and held the controller in write-back mode once the learn cycle completed. No error flags were thrown after the recalibration pass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLearn cycle initiation after swap:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting this cell, trigger a battery learn cycle from the controller's management interface — StorCLI: \u003ccode\u003estorcli \/cx bbu start learn\u003c\/code\u003e. The controller stays in write-through mode until the cycle runs, recalibrates the backup window estimate against the new cell's actual capacity, and clears the conditioning flag. Skipping this step leaves write caching disabled indefinitely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRAID controller staying in write-through mode after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe 8K controller does not automatically switch back to write-back mode when a new cell is installed. It requires a completed learn cycle before it trusts the backup window calculation. Until that cycle runs and validates the cell's charge curve, the controller treats the battery as unqualified and keeps caching conservative. Run \u003ccode\u003estorcli \/cx bbu show\u003c\/code\u003e to confirm learn status, then force a cycle if it hasn't started within 30 minutes of installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eManagement console showing battery error two or three days after installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIBM's RAID management tools schedule their full battery assessment on a timed interval, not at boot. If the assessment window falls 48–72 hours after your swap, the console will flag an error until that scheduled test runs against the new cell and passes. This is not a fault with the cell. Check the battery status log timestamp — if the error appeared exactly on the assessment interval, let the cycle complete. The flag clears once the assessment records a healthy voltage above 3.5V and a valid backup window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416092180570,"sku":"BWCS-IBX365SL-1","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416092213338,"sku":"BWCS-IBX365SL-2","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416092246106,"sku":"BWCS-IBX365SL-3","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-IBX365SL-1.webp?v=1779760264","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/ibm-serverraid-8k-replacement-battery-37v-1800mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
