Smart Storage Battery Holder Kit for ML150 Gen9
This kit provides a dedicated mounting solution for the Smart Storage Battery inside HPE ProLiant ML150 Gen9 servers. It is intended for administrators who need to add or replace the battery holder to maintain cache protection on a compatible Smart Array controller. The accessory ensures the battery module is secured correctly within the chassis.
Upgrading from a missing or damaged holder
If the original battery holder is absent or broken, the Smart Storage Battery cannot be installed, leaving controller cache unprotected during power loss. Installing this kit restores the ability to mount the battery, enabling write-back caching and preserving data integrity. The upgrade is only worthwhile when a supported Smart Array controller and battery module are already present or planned.
Mechanical constraint of the ML150 Gen9 chassis
The holder is designed exclusively for the internal drive cage layout and controller positioning of the ML150 Gen9 platform. It cannot be used in other server models or generations because mounting points and cable routing differ. Compatibility is limited to the specific physical space allocated for the Smart Storage Battery in this server line.

Questions about this item
Does the 786710-B21 kit include the battery itself or only the holder and cable?
The kit provides the holder and cable; the Smart Storage Battery is a separate HPE part that must be ordered to match the controller.
How is the holder secured inside the ML150 Gen9 chassis?
The holder slides into the dedicated battery bay on the chassis floor and locks with the integrated latch; the cable then plugs into the Smart Array controller FBWC connector.
When should the battery module inside this holder be replaced?
HPE recommends replacing the Smart Storage Battery every three years or when the controller reports a degraded battery status during POST.
