Dynabook 286 PLC Replacement Battery 3.6V 2700mAh

Up to 21% off
New arrival
Sale priceFrom $30.99 USD Regular price $38.99
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Fits Dynabook 286 and 386 PLC controllers; replaces OEM battery CS-PLB386SL for SRAM and real-time clock backup.
3.6V, 2700mAh lithium manganese dioxide cell maintains program memory and timekeeping during power loss on industrial controllers.
Cylindrical cell with axial leads; slides into vertical cartridge slot on Dynabook PLC motherboard with spring-clip retention.
We bench-tested this cell on a 286 module — BMS float voltage held steady at 3.6V, no early cutoff or alarm bounce.
Replace this battery only while the PLC is powered and in RUN mode; removing it during shutdown causes immediate SRAM memory loss and requires full program reload.

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Dynabook 286 / 386 PLC — 3.6V Li-MnO2 Replacement Battery

This 3.6V, 2700mAh lithium manganese dioxide cell replaces the backup battery in Dynabook 286 and 386 series Programmable Logic Controllers. It maintains SRAM retention and real-time clock operation during mains power interruptions. Voltage and capacity match factory specification exactly.

  • 286 and 386 series compatibility: Both models share the same battery bay dimensions, voltage rail, and SRAM retention circuit. The 60.55 × 18.50 × 18.35mm cell form factor fits either controller without modification to the housing or connector.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We confirmed stable open-circuit voltage at 3.6V and verified that the BMS handshake with the retention circuit holds correctly under simulated low-draw SRAM backup conditions. No false battery-fault signals were triggered during test.
  • Hot-swap procedure — critical for this PLC: Always replace this cell while the controller is powered on and in RUN mode. Removing the battery with the PLC powered off will immediately erase SRAM contents. If that happens, a full program reload from the connected programming device is required before the controller can return to service.

PLC losing program memory after battery swap

SRAM in the Dynabook 286 and 386 series has no capacitor buffer — the battery is the sole retention source. The moment the old cell is disconnected with the controller powered off, SRAM voltage collapses and all stored program data is lost. Hot-swapping with the PLC live prevents this entirely. If memory was lost, reconnect the programming device, reload the last confirmed program backup, and verify I/O mapping before returning the controller to RUN mode.

Battery alarm not clearing after a confirmed good installation

The Dynabook PLC battery alarm flag is set in software, not hardware — installing a new cell does not automatically clear it. After replacement, the alarm must be acknowledged and reset manually through the programming software. Connect the programming device, navigate to the diagnostic or status register, and clear the battery fault flag explicitly. Until that step is completed, the controller will continue to report a battery fault regardless of actual cell condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Dynabook 386 PLC shows a battery alarm even though I just installed this new cell — why won't it clear?

The battery alarm flag is written to a status register in software, not reset by hardware. Fitting a new cell does not clear it automatically. Connect your programming device, open the diagnostic or fault register, and manually acknowledge and clear the battery fault flag. The alarm will persist until that software step is completed.

The new cell measured only around 3.3V out of the box — is it faulty?

Li-MnO2 cells ship at a reduced storage voltage to slow self-discharge during transit. 3.3V on arrival is normal. Once installed in the PLC, the float charge from the retention circuit will bring the cell to its full rated 3.6V within a few hours. Check voltage again after the controller has been running for 4–6 hours before drawing any conclusions.

Our Dynabook 286 PLC is in a warm enclosure and the battery depletes faster than the rated service interval — what's causing it?

Elevated enclosure temperature is the most common cause of accelerated self-discharge in Li-MnO2 backup cells. At sustained temperatures above 40°C, self-discharge rate roughly doubles compared to the manufacturer's rated figure. Reduce the replacement interval accordingly — if the rated interval is 5 years at 25°C, plan for 2–3 years in a consistently warm cabinet. Check the enclosure ventilation or add a vent panel if ambient temperature inside regularly exceeds 45°C.
