Estimate 1756-BA2 Battery Life After Warnings
Use this table to estimate the battery life after the low-battery warnings are
indicated. Use these times even if the controller does not have power because
there is a small power-drain on the battery.
IMPORTANT When you power up the controller, see if there is a low-battery warning. If
you get a low-battery warning for the first time, you have less battery life
than this table shows. While powered down, the controller still drains the
battery but it cannot give the low-battery warning.

EXAMPLE Under these conditions, the battery lasts at least 20 months before the BAT
status indicator turns red:
• The maximum temperature 2.54 cm (1 in.) below the
chassis = 45 °C (113 °F).
• You cycle power to the controller three times per day.
• The controller contains an 8 MB project.
