Shipment of backup batteries
Backup batteries should always be shipped in their original package. No special measures are
required for the transport of the backup batteries used in the S7-400 system. The lithium
component of the backup battery is less than 0.5 g.
Storing backup batteries
Always store backup batteries in a cool and dry place. The batteries have a maximum shelf
life of 10 years.
Risk of injury, material damage, release of hazardous substances.
Lithium batteries can explode if handled improperly. Their improper disposal may result in
the release of hazardous substances. Strictly adhere to the following instructions:
Do not throw a new or low battery into an open fire and do not perform any soldering work
on the cell casing (max. temperature 100° C). Do not recharge the battery - risk of explosion!
Do not open a battery. Replace a faulty battery only with the same type. Replacement
batteries can be ordered from SIEMENS (for order numbers, refer to the
Specifications" reference manual , in Appendix C (Page 429)).
Always try to return low batteries to the manufacturer or deliver these to a registered recycling
company.
