The GE Fanuc IC698ACC701 Auxiliary Smart Battery Module is an enhanced smart battery module for the Rx7i PACSystem CPU. This battery module provides extended RAM backup for the PACSystem CPU, and unlike the standard modules like the IC693ACC302 Module, the IC698ACC701 Module comes with built-in battery-monitoring circuit that alerts the users about low battery conditions. The module is compatible with both the RX3i and Rx7i PACSystem CPUs, and it can also replace standard CPU RAM backup battery modules in any PACSystem CPU. The IC698ACC701 Module is composed of 5.1 grams of Lithium in 3 cells with 1.7 grams of lithium per cell. It has a maximum battery capacity of 15 Amps-hours and a standard shelf life of 7 years at a 20 degrees Celsius storage temperature.

The IC698ACC701 Auxiliary Smart Battery Module comes with a flame-retardant ABS plastic casing that helps protect against harsh environmental condition. It is supplied as a factory assembled package consisting of a module with a 0.6-meter twisted red/black cable that has a 4-pin female JAE connector, and a 50-millimeter enabling adapter cable with a 4-pin male to 2-pin female connector on one end that is compatible with the battery connectors on PACsystems CPUs. The IC698ACC701 Module has a maximum battery life of 200 days when it is used as a memory battery backup for the IC695CPU310 or the IC695CMU310 RX3i PACsystems CPUs and of 23 days maximum for the RX3i PACSystems CPUs like the IC695CPU320/CRU320 or the IC695CPU315 CPUs. The IC698ACC701 Module has 0 to 60 degree Celsius operating temperature range and approximate dimensions of 5.713 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches (H x W x D).
