Product Overview
The ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G (also referenced as 364-1115) is a high-performance industrial rechargeable lithium-ion battery engineered by ABB to serve as the critical memory-retention power source within ABB AC 800M programmable automation controllers—specifically the PM860, PM861, PM864, and PM865 processor modules. While physically compact with a diameter of just 30 mm and a height of 50 mm, and weighing approximately 120 g, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G plays a role that is nothing short of mission-critical: it is the “memory battery” that keeps the controller’s SRAM alive when factory main power disappears. Without the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G, a sudden power loss would wipe out carefully engineered control logic, PID tuning parameters, alarm setpoints, and real-time process variables—forcing a costly cold restart and program re-download that can halt an entire production line.Delivering a nominal voltage of 3.7 V DC and a capacity of 2.4 Ah, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G utilizes advanced lithium-ion cell chemistry to achieve an exceptional service life—minimum 1000 charge cycles at recommended depth of discharge, with an expected 500 cycles at 80% DOD. The battery supports a continuous discharge rate of 0.2C, maintaining stable voltage output down to a 1 V cutoff threshold, and can be fully recharged within approximately 2 to 4 hours at room temperature. Engineered for the harshest industrial environments, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G operates reliably across a -20°C to +60°C temperature range, making it equally suitable for cold-storage facilities, outdoor enclosures, and hot manufacturing plants. Its plug-and-play design features an onboard gold-finger connector with mechanical anti-reverse insertion, allowing the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G to be directly inserted into the dedicated battery slot on the rear of PM86x CPU modules—automatically recognized, no configuration required.From a system-positioning perspective, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G is the definitive “life-extension” component for AC 800M controllers deployed across the world’s power plants, chemical facilities, water treatment plants, and process automation installations. As a genuine ABB original component, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G carries full compatibility with the PM86x processor family, ensuring that the SRAM retention voltage, charge management, and thermal profile perfectly match ABB’s original design specifications. In addition to its role as an internal backup cell, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G is also closely related to ABB’s SB822 external DIN-rail rechargeable battery unit (3BSE018172R1), which provides an extended-capacity, externally mounted backup solution with a 3.6 V output, 0.05 A maximum current, IP20 protection, and DIN-rail installation for applications demanding longer retention times or redundant backup architecture. Together, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G and the SB822 external unit form ABB’s comprehensive power-loss protection strategy for AC 800M automation systems—a strategy that transforms a potential catastrophe into a routine, invisible event that plant operators never have to think about.

Main Features and Advantages
The ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G delivers its core value as the silent guardian of AC 800M controller memory. While it may appear to be a simple battery, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G is a precision-engineered industrial component whose reliability directly determines whether a power interruption becomes a minor, invisible event or a multi-hour production disaster.Zero-configuration plug-and-play:The defining convenience of the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G is its direct-insertion design. The battery plugs straight into the dedicated slot on the rear of PM86x CPU modules, with an onboard gold-finger connector and mechanical anti-reverse latch ensuring correct orientation every time. Once inserted, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G is automatically recognized by the controller—no configuration, no parameter setting, no firmware flashing. This plug-and-play behavior means maintenance technicians can replace a depleted ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G in under a minute, eliminating the risk of misconfiguration that generic batteries often introduce.Extended cycle life and rapid charging:The ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G delivers a minimum of 1000 charge cycles over its service life, with an expected 500 cycles even at an aggressive 80% depth of discharge. This exceptional cycle endurance translates into years of reliable backup service in typical AC 800M installations, where the battery remains in a float-charge state during normal operation and only discharges during actual power outages. When recharging is needed, the ABB 3BSC760019E1 SB822 AB12G reaches full capacity within 2–4 hours at room temperature—fast enough to restore full backup capability overnight during planned maintenance windows.
