RE: Trivia time - 2748 cache battery

["GERALD BEASLEY" <GBEASLEY@xxxxxxxx>]

Justin,
I recently Had this problem with my model 270 and removed the battery and
had batteries plus build me a new battery pack. He used the connection on my
old battery pack and charged the batteries before we put them back in the
system. This work perfectly.

Subject: Trivia time - 2748 cache battery

Good morning, all.

Wondering the best place to get a new cache battery for a 2748 DASD
controller.  They certainly look like cordless phone batteries, and
since this is a play/sandbox system which is out of maintenance, I can't
just call 800.IBM.SERV and have our local CE come and replace it - at
least without a hefty convenience fee :) .

I'm showing the PN as 44L0302.  Anyone have an offical Sanyo part number
for this battery (have seen Sanyo on a previous pull - didn't save the
battery and go stock-up though), or do I need to shut down, take the
whole box apart, and then go to the local supercenter to find a match?
Hopefully someone has done this before and can save me the multiple
tear-downs.  Thanks in advance!  Have a great week!
