Product Overview
The GE Fanuc IC697ACC701 serves as the primary power backup solution for Series 90-70 Programmable Logic Controllers. This 3.0V Lithium battery ensures the retention of critical system memory, user programs, and configuration data within the CPU and Programmable Coprocessor Modules (PCM) during power interruptions. As a vital maintenance component for GE (now Emerson) industrial systems, the IC697ACC701 prevents the loss of volatile RAM data, shielding facilities from costly reprogramming downtime and unplanned production halts.
Condition: 100% Brand New, Original Factory Performance.

Engineering Advantages
-
Data Integrity Protection: The IC697ACC701 maintains the volatile RAM on Series 90-70 CPUs. Without this battery, a power cycle would wipe the control logic and register values, leading to a complete system failure. It provides a stable 3V supply to keep the CMOS RAM active for years under normal standby conditions.
-
High Pulse Capability: Unlike standard coin cells, this industrial battery supports a 250 mA pulse current. This capability allows the battery to handle the instantaneous load requirements of the CPU memory circuit during the transition from system power to battery backup, ensuring no data "brown-outs" occur.
-
Seamless Field Replacement: Designed specifically for the Series 90-70 rack architecture, the IC697ACC701 features the correct leads and connectors for rapid installation. Maintenance teams can swap batteries quickly during scheduled outages to ensure continuous protection for another lifecycle.
-
Reliability in Harsh Environments: The industrial-grade Lithium chemistry resists leakage and performs consistently across a wide temperature spectrum. This makes it suitable for control cabinets located in unconditioned manufacturing floors or remote process sites where thermal fluctuations are common.
FAQs
Q: Can I replace the IC697ACC701 while the PLC power is on?
A: Yes. In fact, replacing the battery while the system power is active is the safest method to prevent memory loss. Since the system power supplies the RAM while the CPU is energized, the battery can be swapped without the RAM losing its charge.
Q: How often should I replace the IC697ACC701 battery?
A: Most industrial standards recommend replacement every 2 to 3 years as a preventive measure. While the shelf life of Lithium batteries is long, the actual service life depends on how often the PLC is powered down. Frequent power-off periods drain the battery faster.
Q: Does one IC697ACC701 cover both the CPU and the PCM?
A: A Series 90-70 system often requires two batteries—one for the CPU module and one for the PCM. We recommend replacing both simultaneously to synchronize your maintenance schedule and ensure total system data security.
Q: What is the shelf life of these batteries if kept in storage?
A: These Lithium batteries typically feature a shelf life of 10 years when stored at room temperature. However, we recommend checking the voltage before installation if the battery has been in storage for more than 5 years.
