Engineering Advantages
-
Reliable Data Retention: This battery provides the specific 3V current required to maintain the MicroLogix 1100 CMOS RAM. It prevents the CPU from reverting to factory defaults or losing critical process setpoints during scheduled shutdowns or unexpected grid failure.
-
High Energy Density: The 850mAh lithium chemistry offers a superior capacity-to-size ratio. This allows the battery to fit into the compact internal compartment of the MicroLogix 1100 while providing years of standby protection.
-
Extreme Temperature Stability: The industrial lithium construction resists electrolyte degradation across wide temperature swings. This ensures the battery functions reliably even in non-climate-controlled control cabinets where temperatures often fluctuate.
-
Leak-Resistant Design: The 1763-BA features a hermetically sealed casing. This design protects the sensitive PLC circuit board from corrosive electrolyte leakage, a common failure point in lower-quality consumer-grade batteries.
FAQs
-
Is the 1763-BA battery I receive 100% Brand New?
Yes. We guarantee that every 1763-BA ships as 100% Brand New stock with a fresh date code. We do not stock used or refurbished batteries, ensuring you receive the full 850mAh capacity and maximum operational life.
-
How often should I replace the battery in my MicroLogix 1100?
Standard industrial maintenance protocols suggest replacing the 1763-BA every 2 to 3 years. While the lithium cell has a long shelf life, active backup cycles and high ambient temperatures can deplete the capacity faster. Always replace the battery immediately if the "BATT" LED on the controller faceplate turns red.
-
Will I lose my program if I remove the battery while the PLC is off?
Yes. If you remove the battery while the PLC lacks backplane power, the volatile memory will clear within minutes. To prevent program loss, replace the battery while the MicroLogix 1100 remains powered on (exercise extreme caution around live terminals) or ensure you have a current project backup in RSLogix 500.
-
Is this battery rechargeable?
No. Despite some documentation errors in third-party databases, the 1763-BA is a Primary Lithium cell and is NOT rechargeable. Attempting to charge this battery creates a significant fire and explosion hazard within the PLC housing.

Tech & Buying Guide
Understanding Marshalling Cabinets in Industrial Control Systems Architecture
Industrial control system deployments rely on structured signal distribution to bridge field instrumentation with central processing hardware. A marshalling cabinet serves as the vital intermediate connection point between heavy field home-run multi-pair cables and delicate input/output (I/O) modules housed inside Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or Distributed Control System (DCS) enclosures. By segregating field cable terminations from control hardware, engineers maintain system flexibility, safeguard controller components, and streamline commissioning workflows.
FAT vs SAT in Industrial Control Systems: Key Differences and Execution Guide
Industrial control system deployment relies on strict verification protocols to guarantee operational safety, system stability, and regulatory compliance. Commissioning complex Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) racks, Distributed Control Systems (DCS), and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) requires two critical milestones: the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). Both procedures validate that system automation meets design specifications, but they occur at different stages of project execution and target distinct operational risks.
Hub vs Switch vs Router in Industrial Automation Architecture
Modern factory automation relies on reliable industrial networking infrastructure to exchange real-time field data across operational technology systems. Engineers often encounter networking hardware like hubs, switches, and routers when integrating Programmable Logic Controllers, Distributed Control Systems, and SCADA monitoring nodes. Although these devices share physical ports, they operate at different layers of the Open Systems Interconnection reference model and deliver distinct traffic management capabilities.
