7-2 Replacing the Battery
The Battery in the CJ-series CPU Unit must be replaced periodically as preventative maintenance. (The
Battery is a backup power supply for the CPU Unit's internal clock and RAM). This section describes
how to replace 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.
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).
*1 The minimum lifetime is the memory backup time at an ambient temperature of 55°C. The typical lifetime is the
memory backup time at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
