Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1756-BATA is a robust, high-capacity lithium battery assembly engineered specifically for use with the 1756-BATM externally mounted battery module within the ControlLogix system architecture. This assembly provides a reliable, long-term power reservoir for maintaining volatile memory in ControlLogix processors, particularly in demanding industrial environments where standard onboard battery life may be insufficient due to elevated operating temperatures or high memory requirements.

Features

• High-Density Design: Utilizes a dual-cell lithium-thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl2) configuration for consistent, long-term performance.
• Extended Capacity: Offers a 19,000 mAh (19 Ah) nominal capacity to ensure extended memory hold-up times.
• Industrial Reliability: Engineered for stable operation with an ultra-low self-discharge rate suitable for critical automation applications.
• Application-Specific: Designed exclusively as the replacement cell assembly for the 1756-BATM external battery module.

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the 1756-BATM module is properly mounted and connected to the ControlLogix processor before installing the battery assembly.
• Handle lithium cells with care; avoid short-circuiting the terminals or exposing the battery to direct heat sources.
• Verify that the battery connector is seated firmly within the 1756-BATM housing to prevent intermittent power loss.
• Always follow local regulations for the disposal of industrial lithium batteries.
• Power down the module or follow site-specific safety procedures when replacing battery components in hazardous or sensitive environments.

FAQ

Is this battery for direct installation into a ControlLogix processor? No, the 1756-BATA is designed specifically for the 1756-BATM external battery module. It does not plug directly into the controller faceplate.

What is the primary chemistry of this battery? The 1756-BATA uses Lithium-Thionyl Chloride (Li-SOCl2) chemistry, which is chosen for its high energy density and suitability for long-term memory backup in industrial controllers.
