Product Short Description

Product Introduction

The ABB 3HAC044075-001 is an OEM non-rechargeable lithium battery unit engineered exclusively for ABB IRC5 robot controllers and select IRB industrial robot models. It serves as the critical System Memory Backup (SMB) power source, providing uninterrupted voltage to the robot’s CPU, non-volatile memory (NVM), and position encoders during main power loss or shutdown. This ensures the preservation of critical operational data, including robot program code, calibration parameters, axis positions, and configuration settings—eliminating the need for time-consuming re-calibration and reprogramming after power restoration. Built with high-performance lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) chemistry and industrial-grade components, the battery delivers a 5-year operational lifespan in typical industrial environments, with a hermetically sealed design that resists vibration, temperature extremes, and chemical contaminants. It is a drop-in replacement part, pre-assembled with a factory-terminated connector and wire leads for plug-and-play installation, adhering to ABB’s strict safety and quality standards for robotic automation systems.
