The industrial PC does not contain a lithium-ion battery. The motherboard battery is a CR2032 lithium-metal cell. It is used to supply power to the clock integrated on the motherboard. If the battery is depleted or missing, the date and time are displayed incorrectly.

Replacement batteries should only be obtained from Beckhoff Service (see Chapter 10.1 Service and support).
