Description
Battery Life and Performance
The XJ547 Dell 3.7V 7WH Li-ion Battery is a backup battery designed for use with the PERC 5i RAID controller. Its primary purpose is to provide backup power in the event of a power failure or other power-related issues to prevent data loss or corruption.
In terms of battery life and performance, the actual battery life can vary depending on various factors such as the temperature and humidity of the environment, frequency and duration of power outages, and the usage patterns of the RAID controller.
The battery has a capacity of 7 watt-hours, which means it can deliver a current of 7 watts for 1 hour or 1 watt for 7 hours before needing to be recharged. However, the actual performance can vary depending on the operating conditions of the RAID controller and the load placed on the battery.
It is important to note that the battery is designed for backup power and not for continuous operation. The battery is meant to provide temporary power to the RAID controller while it is being shut down properly in the event of a power outage. As such, the battery is typically not designed to provide extended backup power for long periods of time.
In terms of recharging, the XJ547 Dell 3.7V 7WH Li-ion Battery is rechargeable and can be recharged using the appropriate charger provided by Dell. The charging time can vary based on the charging conditions and the level of discharge of the battery.
Compatibility
The XJ547 Dell 3.7V 7WH Li-ion Battery is specifically designed for use with the Dell PERC 5i RAID controller. It is not compatible with other RAID controllers or devices that use different battery models or specifications.
It is important to ensure that the battery is compatible with the specific model of the RAID controller before purchasing and using it. Using an incompatible battery can damage the RAID controller or the battery itself and may result in data loss or corruption.
If you are unsure about the compatibility of the XJ547 Dell 3.7V 7WH Li-ion Battery with your specific RAID controller or device, it is recommended to consult the product manual or contact Dell customer support for assistance.
