Linux server box with LSI MegaRAID controller got degraded. But after some time RAID status changed to Optimal.

Adapter 0 -- Virtual Drive Information:
Virtual Drive: 0 (Target Id: 0)
Name                :
RAID Level          : Primary-1, Secondary-0, RAID Level Qualifier-0

Strip Size          : 256 KB

Current Access Policy: Read/Write

But now I'm getting RAID BIOS POST message:

Your battery is either charging, bad or missing, and you have VDs configured for write-back mode. Because the battery is not currently usable, these VDs willl actually run in write-through mode until the battery is fully charged or replaced if it is bad or missing.

So may it be battery issue caused problem ?

I get information about battery:

BatteryType: iBBU
Voltage: 4001 mV
Current: 0 mA
Temperature: 22 C
Battery State     : Operational

BBU Firmware Status:

Where can be problem ? I'm disabled alarms, but get them if enabled. But don't know how find root of problem.
