The GE Fanuc IC697ACC701 serves as the critical safeguard for volatile memory within the Series 90-70 PLC platform. This 3.0V Lithium battery prevents the loss of user programs, configuration data, and register values during power interruptions. It provides the necessary pulse current to maintain high-speed CMOS RAM in both CPU and Programmable Coprocessor Modules (PCM). We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring maximum shelf life and reliable field performance in demanding industrial environments.

Data Integrity Assurance: The IC697ACC701 maintains the "Logic State" of your controller during total power loss. It sustains the CMOS RAM, ensuring the PLC resumes operation instantly upon power restoration without requiring a program reload.
High Pulse Capability: Unlike standard consumer batteries, this industrial-grade cell handles 250mA pulse currents. This high discharge rate supports the instantaneous power requirements of Series 90-70 memory circuits during the transition from line power to battery power.
Extended Shelf Life: The high-purity lithium chemistry offers a low self-discharge rate. This allows for long-term storage and provides years of reliable service while installed in a standby capacity.
Plug-and-Play Maintenance: The battery features a specialized connector designed for the Series 90-70 battery housing. This prevents polarity errors and allows for rapid "hot-swapping" while the PLC remains powered, avoiding any data loss during the replacement process.
Vibration Resistant: The robust internal construction withstands the constant mechanical vibrations typical of heavy manufacturing and utility control cabinets.
1. How often should I replace the IC697ACC701 battery?
Under standard operating temperatures, you should replace the battery every 12 to 24 months as part of preventative maintenance. High ambient temperatures may shorten this interval. Always replace the battery when the "BATT" LED on the CPU module illuminates.
2. Can I replace this battery while the PLC is powered?
Yes. To avoid losing your program and register data, we recommend replacing the battery while the PLC power supply is ON. This ensures the backplane provides logic power to the RAM while you swap the cells.
3. Does this battery work for Series 90-30 PLCs?
No. The IC697ACC701 is specifically sized and rated for the Series 90-70 (IC697) platform. Series 90-30 (IC693) systems typically use the IC693ACC301 battery.
4. Why does my rack require two IC697ACC701 batteries?
Certain Series 90-70 configurations, particularly those using Programmable Coprocessor Modules (PCM) alongside the CPU, require two batteries to support independent memory registers across different slots. Check your specific module documentation for the required quantity.
