Battery Specifications
Enhanced and Ethernet PLC-5 programmable controllers use 1770-XYC
batteries that contain 0.65 grams of lithium.
Memory Backup Devices
You can add an EEPROM to the PLC-5 controller to provide backup memory
for your program in case the controller loses power. These memory cards are
available:
Use your programming software to save a program currently in the controller
to the EEPROM card. If you restore a program from the EEPROM to
controller memory and controller memory is bad, the restore changes the date
and time in the controller status file to the date and time the EEPROM was
saved. If you restore a program from the EEPROM to controller memory and
controller memory is valid, the status file retains its current date and time.

The battery indicator (BATT) warns you when the battery is low. These durations are based on the battery supplying the only power to the controller
(power to the chassis is off) once the LED first lights.
