Remote Insight/PCI Battery Code 10?

Chris Moran — Wed, 30 Jul 2003 23:28:18 GMT

I picked up a secondhand PCI RIB, and it's working fine in a PL2500R under FreeBSD.

I ran the battery test through the web interface (1.07 firmware) and got the following in the logs:

"Remote Insight battery test complete, code 10"

and the status page shows:

Remote Insight Battery Information Battery Status Battery Enabled
Battery Health Undetermined
Battery Mode Charging
Battery Charge 100 percent charged

I'm guessing the code 10 means my battery is on the way out?

The battery is reaching a set capacity but may not be fully charging. I would recommend unplugging it and letting it drain and try letting it charge again. If the error comes back may need to replace the battery. Chances are, it's just confused and the drain will get it corrected.

The batteries on the RIB/PCI are only intended to be used between 4-5 years of continuous usage. Maybe the board had already that age when you bought it.
