Description
Product Overview
The GE IC693ACC301 is a high-reliability lithium backup battery designed for GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Engineered to preserve critical program and data integrity during power outages, this battery ensures continuous operation of industrial automation systems in manufacturing, power generation, and water treatment facilities. With a 3V DC output and 1200mAh capacity, the GE IC693ACC301 maintains the volatile memory (RAM) of Series 90-30 CPUs, preventing loss of user programs, configuration settings, and real-time operational data26.
Built for longevity, the GE IC693ACC301 features a 10-year shelf life and a 1-year typical operating life (depending on CPU usage and ambient conditions)23. Its lithium chemistry offers stable performance across a wide storage temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, ensuring resilience in extreme environments. The battery mounts securely on a plastic clip inside the power supply cover and connects via a wire leads connector, providing seamless integration with Series 90-30 PLCs27. A low-battery warning LED on the PLC’s power supply module alerts operators when replacement is imminent, minimizing downtime risks3.
As a key component of GE Fanuc’s Series 90-30 platform, the GE IC693ACC301 supports mission-critical applications where data retention is non-negotiable. Its hot-swap capability allows replacement while the PLC remains powered, ensuring uninterrupted memory preservation during maintenance procedures36. The battery’s compact design (17.2mm × 33.5mm) optimizes space within control panels, making it ideal for retrofitting legacy systems or new installations requiring reliable backup power26.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation Preparation:
- Hardware Setup: Remove the power supply cover and locate the plastic clip inside. Insert the GE IC693ACC301 into the clip, ensuring the wire leads connector mates securely with the PLC’s interface.
- Safety Checks: Verify the battery voltage using a multimeter (should read ≥2.8V). Replace if voltage is below 2.7V to avoid memory loss.
- Hot-Swap Procedure: If replacing during operation, ensure the PLC remains powered to prevent RAM data loss. Use insulated tools to avoid short circuits36.
Maintenance Recommendations:
- Annual Replacement: Replace the GE IC693ACC301 every 12 months or when the BATT LED activates, whichever comes first. This ensures consistent memory retention even in low-temperature environments23.
- Environmental Monitoring: Maintain ambient temperatures between 0°C and +25°C to extend battery life. Avoid exposing the battery to humidity or corrosive gases26.
- Firmware Sync: After replacement, verify that the PLC’s backup memory matches the current program using Proficy Machine Edition (PME) software8.
