Description
Performance and Capacity
The performance and capacity of the X8483 Dell Perc 5E battery is an important aspect to consider when using it to provide backup power to a Dell PowerEdge 1900 or 1950 server.
The battery has a capacity of 3.7V and 7Wh, which is sufficient to provide backup power to the RAID controller in the event of a power loss. This allows for a safe shutdown of the system and protection of data.
In terms of performance, the battery is designed to communicate correctly with the RAID controller and provide the correct amount of power to keep the controller functioning during a power loss. The battery is also designed to have a long lifespan and maintain a consistent level of performance over time.
It is important to note that the performance and capacity of the battery can be affected by various factors such as temperature, usage patterns, and the number of charge/discharge cycles. Therefore, it’s recommended to follow the maintenance and troubleshooting guidelines provided by Dell to ensure the battery is always in good working condition.
It’s also important to note that the performance and capacity of the battery can be affected by the specific usage scenarios, environment, and the number of charge/discharge cycles. Therefore, it’s recommended to monitor the battery’s performance and capacity over time, and replace it as needed to ensure that the battery is always in good working condition.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Proper maintenance and troubleshooting of the X8483 Dell Perc 5E battery is important to ensure that the battery is always in good working condition and provides reliable backup power to a Dell PowerEdge 1900 or 1950 server.
Keep the battery in a cool and dry place, away from heat and moisture.
Check the battery’s charge level regularly and charge it as needed.
Use the battery regularly to maintain its charge level and prolong its lifespan.
Follow the recommended charging and discharging cycles to optimize the battery’s performance.
Verify that the battery is properly installed and connected to the server.
Check the battery’s charge level and charge it if necessary.
Check that the battery’s temperature is within the recommended range.
Check that the battery is communicating correctly with the RAID controller.
Check for any error messages or warning messages related to the battery.
If the battery is not working properly, try performing a hard reset of the RAID controller.
If the issue persists, contact Dell technical support for further assistance.
Proper maintenance and troubleshooting of the X8483 Dell Perc 5E battery include keeping the battery in a cool and dry place, checking the battery’s charge level regularly, using the battery regularly, following the recommended charging and discharging cycles, troubleshoot by verifying the battery is properly installed and connected to the server, checking the battery’s charge level and temperature, check for any error messages or warning messages related to the battery, performing a hard reset of the RAID controller, and contact Dell technical support if the issue persists.
Data Protection and Backup Features
The X8483 Dell Perc 5E battery is designed to provide data protection and backup features for the Dell PowerEdge 1900 and 1950 servers.
- Battery Backup Unit (BBU) : The battery is used as a BBU which is a device that provides power to the RAID controller during a power failure, allowing the controller to properly save data and shut down the system without data loss.
- RAID protection : The battery works in conjunction with the RAID controller to provide protection for data stored on the server. RAID (redundant array of independent disks) uses multiple hard drives to create a single logical drive that can withstand the failure of one or more drives.
- Write-back cache : The battery provides power to the write-back cache, which is a feature that improves the performance of the RAID controller by allowing it to write data to the cache instead of directly to the hard drive. This allows the controller to write data faster and more efficiently.
- Power-loss protection : The battery provides power-loss protection by providing power to the RAID controller during a power failure, allowing the controller to properly save data and shut down the system without data loss.
- Battery monitoring: The RAID controller is able to monitor the battery’s health, charge level and status, giving the administrator an idea of the battery’s condition and when it needs to be replaced.
The X8483 Dell Perc 5E battery provides data protection and backup features by functioning as a Battery Backup Unit, working with the RAID controller to provide RAID protection, providing power to the write-back cache, providing power-loss protection, and enabling the RAID controller to monitor the battery’s health, charge level, and status.
