Battery

Batteries have a limited lifespan. (The life varies depending on your storage/use environment and backup frequency.)
The nearer the end of the life is, the more rapidly deterioration proceeds.

Example Life Expectancy for an S8BA-series Battery

Note:Not a guaranteed performance.

Backup Time

The backup time will shorten as the battery deteriorates over time. At the end of the battery's expected service life, the backup time is approximately half that of when the battery was new.

Note:The backup times in the datasheet are reference only. Actual results depend on the frequency of backup operation and the external environmental conditions (e.g., temperature).
