In my experience, a bad backup battery can cause everything from failure
to start an OMP to other flaky behavior. Especially if the OMP was not
used for one year, it is extremely likely that the backup battery is bad.

The probability of a hard disk crashing
Increases in direct proportion to the amount of time
Since the drive was last backed up.
