IPMI SEL Alert

I am receiving this alert on one of my host. The system event log gets full with events Assert + battery Failed and Deassert + Battery Failed. I reset the system event log and updated the sensors which helped me clear the alert temporarily but it pops up again on the next day. I have attached the screenshots below. Please help..

Thank you

Well, do you think that maybe, I dunno, your battery has failed? Have you even looked into that? Not all error messages that show up are to be distrusted, you know.

These alerts just come from the hardware, vmware just reads the sensors, if your SEL is filling up the blade itself is reporting the problem. Look at the SEL log and the other sensors in your blades, usually with cmos batteries the alerts start coming once the voltage drops below a number. The only way to fix it is to replace it.
