Is there a way to check the status of a backup battery on a Dell PERC 5i card?

I recently bought the card and then bought a used battery separately. Before I leave feedback on eBay for the battery, I'd like to confirm it's not dead.

I went into the PERC settings from CTRL-R (or whatever the POST key strokes were) and I couldn't find anything that would show me the battery status. Even updated the firmware with the LSI firmware.

Anything I can do to confirm the battery is alive and working?
 
MegaRaid Storage Manager says "BBU Present: No".

So I'm guessing the battery I was sold is dead. I assume there was nothing special I needed to do to enable the battery? I just plugged it in.
