When a message cautions you that testing the battery will disable the
BBU for up to 24 hours, click OK to continue.

After the battery test starts, you will see the voltage start dropping;
eventually the battery voltage will say "LOW". This is part of the battery
test. After the voltage drops to a point, it will start charging again, and the
status will change to “Charging.” Eventually, the battery voltage will say
“OK” again.
