RE: RAID Cache Battery Source

Tough spot you're in.

I guess an automobile is user maintainable also.  But even for an oil 
change I can find that I can take it to the place and walk to McDonalds 
while it gets done.  My brother-in-law has occasionally torn an engine 
apart and rebuilt it and that's ok.  Providing you can wait a month or two 
while he works on it after hours.

The only counter comparison is that the oil change place doesn't make you 
sign a PO for the replacement cost of the engine just to change your oil.

What about third party maintenance?  There's plenty of those out there. 
Granted, I've heard horror stories.  Like the fellow who forgot to flush 
the cache before changing the battery necessitating an entire system 
restore.  Just google for +iseries +maintenance.
