Notes on Smart Storage Batteries

• What They Do:
  BBUs are used with many IBM RAID/storage controllers to preserve cached write data when power is lost — preventing data loss and corruption.
• Controller Support:
  Controllers such as ServeRAID-8s, MR10 series, M5000/M5015 series, etc. include support for battery backup units or integrated BBUs.
• Battery Life:
  These units are consumable components with limited lifespan — monitor health via management software (ServeRAID Manager, MegaRAID Storage Manager, etc.) and replace when degraded.
