Battery Replacement

Purpose of the Battery
The Battery maintains the CPU Unit internal clock and the I/O memory data held in RAM while the main
power supply is OFF. If the Battery is not installed or Battery voltage drops too low, the internal clock will
stop and the I/O memory data that is held will be lost when the main power supply goes OFF.
Battery Service Life and Replacement Period
At 25°C, the maximum service life for batteries is five years whether or not power is supplied to the CPU
Unit while the battery is installed. The battery's lifetime will be shorter when it is used at higher temper-
atures and when power is not supplied to the CPU Unit for long periods.
The following table shows the approximate minimum lifetimes and typical lifetimes for the backup bat-
tery (total time with power not supplied).
