Allen-Bradley 1747-BA SLC 500 Lithium Battery 3V

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1747-BA is a 3 Volt lithium battery designed specifically for the SLC 500 series from Rockwell Automation. It provides non-rechargeable backup power to maintain volatile memory in processors like the 1747-L511, 1747-L514, SLC 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

Key parameters for the 1747-BA are listed below for quick reference:

Industry Applications

This battery is critical in manufacturing plants where SLC 500 controllers manage assembly lines, packaging machines, or material handling systems. For example, in a bottling facility, the 1747-BA retains recipe data during power outages, preventing product waste. Its 5-year backup for the 1747-L511 reduces replacement frequency, lowering total cost of ownership.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Install the 1747-BA by connecting it to the 6-Pin Phoenix connector on the processor module. Ensure the system is powered off before insertion. Use Belden 9463 cable for remote mounting if needed. The battery LED on the processor will illuminate when voltage is low, signaling replacement time.

Maintenance & Reliability

Store the 1747-BA in a cool, dry environment at 20-25°C (68-77°F) with 40-60% relative humidity. Regularly monitor storage conditions. Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or heat the battery. Replace all batteries in multi-cell applications simultaneously. Keep away from water, metal objects, and antistatic materials.

Why Does Your SLC 500 Processor Need a Reliable Battery Backup?

Unexpected power loss can wipe critical program data from your SLC 500 controller, causing costly downtime. The Allen-Bradley 1747-BA lithium battery ensures your RAM retains logic and data for years, protecting your operations.

Compatibility & Integration

The 1747-BA is compatible with SLC 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, and 5/05 processors, as well as 1747-L511 and 1747-L514 modules. It provides approximately 2 years of backup for the L514 and 5/02-5/05 series, and 5 years for the L511. Always verify compatibility with your specific processor before ordering.
