The memory for data such as part programs, tool offset/compensation data,
and work coordinate offset data is stored on the processor board. In the
case of a power failure, there is a super capacitor on the processor board
that backs up this data for up to 5 days (at 40
°
C) on systems without
extended program storage. This super capacitor recharges within 1 hour of
power turn on if completely discharged. If you want to extend this backup
time, install the lithium battery pack (8520-LIBAT) that supports the data
for:

The lithium battery pack also supports 8520 absolute encoder power. This
battery pack is connected to the lithium battery connector (P1) on the
processor board as shown in Figure 3A.6. Batteries and battery cable are
included with the battery replacement kit.
