HPE 871264-001 DL/ML/SL 96W 145mm Battery

HPE 871264-001 96W Smart Storage Battery with 145mm Cable

The HPE 871264-001 is a 96W Smart Storage Battery designed to provide backup power for flash-backed write cache (FBWC) in compatible HPE ProLiant servers. This Version 3 battery includes a 145mm cable for connection to the server’s system I/O board.

It is an important replacement component for servers using supported HPE Smart Array controllers with protected cache. When an unexpected power interruption occurs, the battery supplies temporary power to help preserve cached data while the controller completes its protection process.

Technical Specifications

Why Is a Smart Storage Battery Important?

Some HPE Smart Array controllers temporarily hold write data in cache before it is committed to storage. If the server loses power unexpectedly, that data needs protection.

The HPE 871264-001 provides temporary backup power for compatible flash-backed cache systems. This helps the controller preserve cached information during an unplanned power interruption.

In supported server configurations, one Smart Storage Battery can provide backup power for multiple storage controllers. A separate battery is not necessarily required for each controller.

Important: This battery is not a server UPS and does not keep the complete server running during a power failure.

When Should You Replace the Battery?

A Smart Storage Battery may need replacing when the server reports a battery health warning, charging fault or cache backup power failure.

Depending on the controller and configuration, a failed battery may also affect the availability of protected write-back caching.

Before ordering a replacement, check the hardware status through HPE iLO or the appropriate storage management software. Confirm that the warning relates to the battery rather than its cable, connection or charging system.

Compatibility and Cable Requirements

The 871264-001 battery is used in selected HPE ProLiant server configurations, including systems equipped with compatible Smart Array controllers.

The 145mm cable length is particularly important. HPE also supplies Smart Storage Battery variants with longer cables for different server layouts.

Before purchasing, check:

• The exact server model and generation.
• The battery spare part number currently installed.
• The required 145mm cable length.
• The battery connector and mounting position.
• The installed storage controller and firmware requirements.

Do not assume that batteries with similar power ratings or different cable lengths are interchangeable.

New and Refurbished HPE 871264-001

New Smart Storage Battery

A New or unused HPE 871264-001 may be suitable for planned maintenance or replacing a battery that has reached the end of its service life.

Because lithium-ion batteries age even when stored, confirm the battery’s condition and warranty, particularly when purchasing unused legacy stock.

Refurbished Smart Storage Battery

A Refurbished battery may be available for maintaining existing enterprise servers. However, battery health is especially important for cache protection.

Before purchasing a refurbished unit, ask whether its charging behaviour, health status and backup power functionality have been tested.

For both conditions, confirm the included cable, warranty and UK delivery arrangements.

Installation and Battery Handling

Follow the relevant HPE server maintenance guide when replacing the battery. Power down the server where required and observe the manufacturer’s handling instructions.

Do not open, crush, puncture or attempt to repair the lithium-ion battery pack.

After installation, check the battery status through the server’s management interface. Charging and readiness may take time, depending on the system.

Used or damaged batteries should be handled and recycled through appropriate battery waste services.
