Battery & Energy Pack Manual Chapter 2 GFK-2741J Oct 2019 Chapter 2: Batteries Battery Selection 2.1.1 Conventional Coin-Cell Lithium Battery (IC698ACC701A, IC698ACC701B) The conventional coin-cell lithium batteries are relatively small and have the advantage of fitting inside the battery compartment of compatible CPUs. The disadvantages are limited memory retention time, limited CPU compatibility, and no support for low battery detection.
Battery & Energy Pack Manual Chapter 2 GFK-2741J Oct 2019 with all PACSystems CPUs requiring a battery for memory retention and is slightly larger than the auxiliary lithium batteries. The disadvantages are external mounting is required due to battery and charger size, no support for low battery detection, limited temperature range (0 to 50°C, 32 to 122 °F), and inability to charge in a hazardous location.
