Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What does the IC693ACC301 battery do?
It supplies backup power to retain memory in GE 90-30 PLCs when the main power is off. -
How often should the battery be replaced?
Typically every 5 to 7 years, or sooner if the battery warning LED indicates low power. -
Is this battery rechargeable?
No. It is a lithium-based primary cell and should be replaced, not recharged. -
How do I know if the battery is failing?
Most GE CPUs will indicate a battery fault via an LED or system message. -
Can I replace the battery while the system is running?
Yes, but only if the CPU has internal capacitor hold-up time. Check model-specific guidelines. -
Is this battery compatible with all Series 90-30 CPUs?
It is compatible with most Series 90-30 CPUs, including CPU311, CPU313, and CPU323. -
What happens if the battery dies and power is lost?
The controller will lose volatile memory, including any unsaved program or configuration data. -
Where is the battery installed?
It plugs directly into a battery port on the CPU module or the power supply base. -
Can I store spare batteries?
Yes, store in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is up to 10 years when unused. -
Are there safety precautions for disposal?
Yes, lithium batteries must be disposed of following local regulations for hazardous waste.
