Life Cycle of Battery
The battery is expendable. To maintain the Controller function, make sure to replace the
battery regularly and appropriately for the use condition.
The life cycle of the battery depends on the ambient temperature, number of backup cycles,
and backup time.
To prolong the life cycle of the battery, complete the shutdown of Windows within 2
minutes.
Relation between the life cycle of battery and the ambient temperature:
When the ambient temperature is 20 deg.C: approx. 10 years
When the ambient temperature is 25 deg.C: approx. 8 years
When the ambient temperature is 30 deg.C: approx. 5 years and 7 months
When the ambient temperature is 35 deg.C: approx. 4 years
When the ambient temperature is 40 deg.C: approx. 2 years and 9 months
Note that the life cycle above is for the reference and it does not guarantee the backup in this
period.
Also, the battery must be replaced before 10 years in any circumstances.
