If you load the Windows-based RAID management software, you can perform this
battery "reconditioning" or whatever it is called, from within NT. I have
done it on a few of my servers. Works well.

Have you done the power cycle on the battery? This battery backs up the
cache on the PERC card. Losing power to the server with the write cache
turned on and no battery could corrupt data.
We see this message every 9 - 12 months on each controller. We run the
refurb on Saturday evening as performance drops with the cache disabled.
