Granted the usage is different, but some time ago most HPE/Dell RAID
controllers moved from using battery (usually NiCad) backed cache
modules, to using flash backed cache with a supercapacitor to power
the transfer from cache to flash.

One would hope that as these are used to protect data integrity, that
HPE and Dell did their homework. I certainly have appreciated no
longer having to replace failed battery packs in servers (-:
