Drive Array accelerator status in E200i (ml350 g5)

[Piton1900]

After 4 years of operation, the controller issued the message: ... Drive Array accelerator status: tmpDisabled (the battery failed, replace the battery).
How long the server can operate in this state? Do I need urgently to buy and change the HP SA641/642/E200 128MB BBWC Enabler?

You can continue to work, but the cache is disabled.

Thanks, Torsten!
It is obvious that the cache is better, I'll buy a new card.

... you just need the battery.

Separately, the batteries do not sell, the supplier recommended: 128-MB Battery-Backed Write Cache (BBWC)
NOTE: Select this option for RAID 0/1/1 +0 / 5.
