With the RAID controller running in pass through mode, you should be seeing a big hit in performance, so you should be replacing the battery sooner rather than later
.

Ok, but will the server reboot now when it "fixed" the problem automatically?

Decommission is not too far away for this server.

How come this did not happen in the passed?
Is it that the outdated firmware can't cope with a bad battery?

Wow, I mean the fact that it happened at first when the server was five years old doesen't speak against that a firmware update will solve it?
