Product Overview
The GE IC697ACC701 Battery is a replacement battery component intended for use with compatible GE industrial automation and programmable controller systems. In a PLC control system, the backup battery provides a stable energy source for retaining critical memory or other battery-backed system information when the primary system power is removed.
Battery-backed memory is particularly important in industrial controllers because loss of retained information can affect controller configuration, application data, program retention, or system startup behavior depending on the specific hardware configuration.
The GE IC697ACC701 has a compact physical format, with supplied dimensions of 50 × 20 × 20 mm and a listed weight of 0.045 kg. Its small size allows it to be integrated into control equipment without occupying significant cabinet or controller space.
Because battery specifications and replacement procedures can vary between controller configurations, the battery should always be matched to the applicable GE control-system hardware and replaced according to the equipment maintenance procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GE IC697ACC701?
The GE IC697ACC701 is a backup battery designed for use with compatible GE industrial automation and PLC equipment.
What are its dimensions?
The supplied dimensions are:
50 × 20 × 20 mm
What is its weight?
The supplied weight is:
0.045 kg
What does the battery do in a PLC?
It provides backup energy for supported battery-backed memory or system retention functions when the main controller power is unavailable.
Why should a PLC battery be replaced periodically?
Rechargeable or non-rechargeable backup batteries can gradually lose capacity. A depleted battery may result in loss of retained information during a power interruption.
Can I replace the battery with any battery of the same size?
No. Physical dimensions alone are not sufficient. The replacement battery must have the correct electrical characteristics, connector, polarity, and compatibility with the controller.
What happens if the battery is completely discharged?
Depending on the controller architecture, retained information may be lost when the main power is removed. A verified PLC program and configuration backup should therefore be maintained.
Should the PLC be powered during battery replacement?
The correct procedure depends on the host controller. Some systems have specific battery replacement procedures designed to preserve memory, while others require power isolation. Always follow the applicable controller maintenance procedure.
What should I do if a new battery quickly generates another low-battery alarm?
Verify the battery installation and compatibility first. If the problem continues with a known-good battery, inspect the controller’s battery monitoring and retention circuitry.
