Raid battery keeps being reconditioned

After the last scheduled raid battery reconditioning, everytime my mac pro is switched on it starts reconditioning the battery again. Any ideas as to why and how to stop it? I'd like to be able to turn off my mac when I want and not after it's reconditioned and recharged the battery everyday! Could the battery be duff?
any thoughts appreciated

Hello Paul. Had a similar problem with my Apple Raid Card (battery) 6 months ago. Apple replaced both the Raid Card and the Battery under warranty. Haven't had a problem since (fingers crossed!). If you still have AppleCare I would ask for a new battery at least.

  • Raid Battery issues....

    I keep getting a warning for my Raid battery...saying write cache temp. disabled due ti insufficient battery charge.....Restarting does nothinng...Leaving system on for 72hours does nothing......

    Does this RAID enclosure have a Battery itself that needs replacing, or is it the Mac's Battery? Is there a UPS involved?
    a hardware RAID controller may carry a dedicated battery-powered write-back cache of its own, thereby allowing for efficient operation that is also relatively safe. Fortunately, it is possible to avoid such problems with a software controller by constructing a RAID with safer components; for instance, each drive could have its own battery or capacitor on its own write-back cache, and the drive could implement atomicity in various ways, and the entire RAID or computing system could be powered by a UPS, etc.

    The RAID card reconditions its battery from time-to-time. During the interval when the battery is discharged, it may report that the RAID cache is disabled (and you are enduring longer writes because of that). It should charge up and start using the write cache again within a few hours.

  • My jetpack won't charge. I only use the cable that came with it. and by won't charge, I mean even when plugged in the battery keeps dropping and never goes up.

    My MiFi jetpack 6620 doesn't charge. I've plugged it into the charger that comes with it, and only that charger. But nothing happens. The battery keeps getting drained. I first attempted when it was at 16%. After being on the charger a few hours, it dropped to 15%, then 14%. I'm currently at 12%. I've tried different outlets at different locations. And I've tested the charger cable on my phone and it charges that just fine. Which is more likely: the battery is defective or there is a problem with the jetpack itself? and the real kicker is that I've only had it for a week.

        Happy Friday cjyoyomasta! I wanted to reach out to you to see if you received the assistance that you need with your jetpack. May I ask have you took the device to the store for assistance? If so, what was the results? If you can provie us with a status update then we can assist, if still needed.
    Thank you…

  • HT1346 My Battery Keeps failing Where do I get a replacement?

    My Battery on my Raid card keeps failing.
    Where do I get a replacement?
    is there any model specifics I should look for?
    Thanks

    The "simply little sleeve" that came with the iPod is a case. No, Apple does not sell those cases. They come with your iPod, I doubt that you can find one on ebay.

  • RAID BATTERY CONDITIONING, HELPFUL INFO.

    Point of Information: It took my MPRO 6 hours and 30 minutes (exactly) to complete the battery conditioning process, from a status of completely charged. It may not take this long if, for example, your battery is partially discharged. I spoke with an Apple Product Specialist via telephone who advised that there is no documented time parameters with regard to the conditioning process. He did advise that cache size, as related to the individual drives is a correlative variable. The Product Specialist also advised that I could carry on all normal work tasks while the conditioning process was active. He did state that I might notice slightly inhibited overall system performance until the conditioning process was completed, and the related write caches were re-enabled. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT not to reboot or shutdown your system during this process. If you do, the conditioning process will start all over from the beginning. For some unknown reason, my MacPro insists on 2 cycles of the aforementioned conditioning process resulting in about 13 hours total time allocated. After the first conditioning cycle is complete (battery shows charged and not conditioning), I have to shut the MacPro down, wait a few minutes and start it again. At that point, after a few minutes, the RAID Utility enters into another conditioning cycle. If I don't intentionally allow for the second conditioning cycle, it will automatically enter into the second conditioning cycle the next time I start the computer resulting in write caches being disabled and a drop in system performance prohibitive to editing and post-production workflow processes in FCPro/Motion, etc...
    The entire conditioning process can be monitored in more detail (in conjunction with the Raid Utility) using the OS's System Profiler utility. Open the System Profiler utility and select the "Hardware RAID" option on the left. From the System Profiler, you can monitor whether the battery is charging or discharging. The following information is displayed in Syst. Profiler:
    Hardware RAID
    Battery Info:
    Firmware Revision: 1.0d19
    First Installed: 3/8/07 3:10 AM
    Last Date Conditioned: Unknown
    State: Working battery
    Fault: Normal battery operation
    Status:
    Charging: No
    Conditioning: Yes
    Connected: Yes
    Discharging: Yes
    Sufficient Charge: No
    Here you can see that my RAID syst. is conditioning the battery; is currently discharging the battery, and there is not a sufficient charge. It is important to note that the system profiler does not automatically update it's own status real-time, i.e., you must refresh (command + R) the window to get the latest status.

    I found that, at the end of the conditioning cycle, if I allow the battery to continue charging for 9 hours after system profiler and the raid utility indicate a full charge, the computer does not enter into a subsequent, charging cycle. Accordingly, I can only deduce that either:
    1. although both the system profiler and the raid utility indicated a full charge, the battery has not actually reached a full charge, and thus enters into a subsequent conditioning cycle upon the next restart / boot.
    2. The raid card battery is bad, or on the way out (not even a year old).
    Apple Product Specialists (APS) have been very helpful, overall, and have shipped me a new replacement battery. While there are no specific battery replacement instructions available to the public, the APS I spoke with excerpted replacement instructions from the Apple Technician training manual and emailed me these. I have these available if anybody needs them. I will be happy to email them to you as I don't think I can post them anywhere here. You can find an email address to reach me under my profile.

  • Why does my fully charged iPad 2 battery keep dying at 50% charge? I have updated to iOS 7 and this started happening. What could be the cause of it?

    My iPad's battery keeps dying. When I plug it in and put it back on, the screen shows a drained battery. After a few moments it boots up. However, when I check the battery charge, it's at 52% or so. Can someone tell me what's causing this? And what can I do to fix it?

    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

    Hello emandinach, if you have problem with update firefox the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

    Only on my macbook. (which, btw, has a version number your drop down doesn't offer as a choice. I had to putt 9.4)
    When I look up the account the "password" is a long string of gobbledygook. Something I would never do.
    But when I attempt to use that pw I still can't get in.
    I have no trouble accessing that email account on my mac mini. Just on the macbook.

    Maiko,
    I'm confess I'm still trying to get a handle on your problem. You do a fantastic job of describing it ... but I'm just trying to picture it accurately in my head.
    I think, were I in your shoes, I'd begin by looking at what the debug page has to say for the specific destination in which you're interested in fixing. In other words, I'm not clear on where, exactly, this destination points ...
    Destination illinois.edu.1945806043
    Is that your site, or the division within your site that you want to fix? "Normally", you do not need to specify a site handle to get to your site within your transfer CGI ... if you say "uillinois.edu", it's enough to transfer your users to iTunes U ... but every site still has a handle, and you could, if you wanted to, actually specify it in your transfer CGI. For example, this:
    Destination uic.edu.1139051993
    is for my entire site ... it's my site handle. Whereas this:
    Destination uic.edu.1991288441
    is for a division within my site ... but it's impossible to tell the difference between "site" and "division" from just the handle (I mean, if I didn't say "this is a site" and "this is a division", there'd be no way for you to know). So when I look at your creds and permissions on your debug page, I can't quite tell if they give you download access for your site, or for the specific division you want to fix. If you could open the debug page with your division as destination (or confirm that that's what we're looking at), it'd rule out some things.

  • Jst bought an iphone 5s and 5c battery keeps dying have noticed a lot of people have had this issue for awhile but I haven't seen any real fix. ???

    I just bought a 5s and the battery keeps dying. I have noticed several people have had this same problem for awhile but I haven't really seen a fix.
    I am loosing about 1% every 2 min as well. not very tech savy but I did turn off the LTE. I did originally let phone die all the way then charge all the way.
    Have only had for 3 days should I start with taking it back and replacing? or does everyone think this is a software fix we are all gonna have to wait for ?
    Thanks

    You can try this link for some help http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/19/ios-7-battery-life-fix/. I do not see my iPhone 5s behaving in this manner, so there has to be some settings that you are using that are giving you problems. Did you restore this phone from an older iPhone backup? If so, you might want to restore the device as new and start over and sync over individual parts to see what might be bad.

  • The new battery is being recalled

    I own a iBook G4, and my battery was recalled. I used the form on https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/index.html, but now my replacement battery is being recalled as well.
    When I try to order a new replacement battery, but seeing as I had already used the form once, I can't use it again, even though they recognize the serial on the new battery to being a recalled one. What should I do, who should I contact?

    And since you sent back the original recalled battery, you can't use that
    box, either...! I just got my battery yesterday (a weird story, just in that)
    and have discharged my very good but recalled battery, and have charged
    the new replacement battery and haven't tested the computer much, yet.
    But I have not been in a hurry to send back the recalled battery; and see
    on the battery's shipping box there are options & checkboxes on the label.
    If you have tried calling the Apple number for Support again
    and can't get any help (if you get through, you may get help)
    you could try Sales Support or Customer Relations. That is
    a stretch. The information from the recall page suggests to
    call; so if you have not tried calling (instead of the form) you
    can try it; should work according to their recall information page.
    http://www.apple.com/support/batteryexchange/2006/faq/
    You may have to call Apple Sales Support and inquire about customer
    satisfaction and their recommended procedures to send in a defective
    replacement battery, to get another one; or if there isn't just some way
    they can let you get a battery from somewhere closer to you that would
    be guaranteed, in lieu of this game they are forcing you into playing.
    I'm at a distance from any place to get a battery for my iBook, and
    in order to get one new I'm looking at 200+ miles travel; or an order
    online and a week's delivery time. And retail prices plus shipping; or
    up to 4 weeks to get a new battery if I order new from Apple online.
    Being essentially unable to use these computers for up to 6 weeks
    and they are intended to be portable, is without excuse and border-
    lines on 'fitness of merchantability' rulings, in consumer protection.

  • R/3 Masta Data downloaded in CRM keeps being duplicated

    Hello goup….
    CRM version 4.0
    The only master record we download from R/3 to CRM is the Employee Personal Number (field: PERNR).
    The employee number when downloaded in CRM is called business partner. And there are some business partner that keeps being duplicated in CRM.
    Details: The download from R/3 to CRM is done by a job that runs a standard program: RDBMIDOC.
    1) Does anyone knows anything about that? What should I do to stop the duplication in CRM?
    Many Thanks,
