Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) have been around for nearly 30 years and the technology has developed greatly since there introduction. PLC devices now form a part of complex control and automation networks using high-tech hardware and software.

As with any electronic equipment, PLC’s need a power supply and in order to make them portable battery power is needed. There are a vast range of PLC’s available on the market and therefore there are a wide range of different batteries used to power these devices.

We are currently researching PLC batteries and building up a database of batteries for a number of PLC’s available on the market today from the following manufacturers:

Allen Bradley, Cutler Hammer, GE Faunc, Siemens, Texas Instruments

Examples of a number of popular PLC batteries are listed below:

SL750/S - 3.6V 1.1Ah 1/2AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Tadiran	Max continuous discharge current: 20mA
SL360/S - 3.6V 2.4Ah AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Tadiran	Max continuous discharge current: 20mA
SL760/S - 3.6V 2.2Ah AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Tadiran	Max continuous discharge current: 60mA
SL770/S - 3.6V 7.2Ah C Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Tadiran	Max continuous discharge current: 100mA
SL386/P - 3.6V 1.7Ah 1/6D Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Tadiran	Max continuous discharge current: 10mA
LS14250 - 3.6V 1.1Ah 1/2AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Saft	Max continuous discharge current: 40mA
LS14500 - 3.6V 2.45Ah AA Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Saft	Max continuous discharge current: 130mA
LS26500 - 3.6V 7.7Ah C Lithium Thionyl Chloride - Saft	Max continuous discharge current: 150mA
