AFF C800 shutdown during active learning cycle for battery issues while on BMC version 10.9P1, once taken over it is able to complete a giveback and come online with no issues.
 
You may see messages that look like the following:
 
Mon Jun 09 02:10:51 -0500 [<node>: env_mgr: nvmem.battery.voltageLowWarn:alert]: The NVMEM battery voltage is below normal (5600 mV).
Mon Jun 09 02:11:42 -0500 [<node>: env_mgr: nvmem.battery.voltageLow:EMERGENCY]: The NVMEM battery voltage is critically low (5500 mV). To prevent data loss, the system will shut down in 5 minutes.
Mon Jun 09 02:11:52 -0500 [<node>: env_mgr: callhome.battery.warning:alert]: Call home for BATTERY (voltage low) WARNING.
