Product Description
The Panasonic BR-2/3ASSP is the lithium battery that industrial and commercial equipment counts on for long-term, maintenance-free power. Paired with 6-inch wire leads, it's ready to drop into PLCs, utility meters, memory backup systems, and other equipment right out of the box — no soldering required.
Reliable Power from the First Day to the Last
This battery uses Panasonic's lithium carbon monofluoride chemistry, which delivers a steady 3V output across its entire discharge cycle. That consistent voltage matters in industrial applications. A gradual drop in power can cause PLCs to lose their programming, meters to misread, or backup systems to fail at exactly the wrong moment. With the BR-2/3ASSP, that risk is eliminated.
The battery handles temperature extremes that would stop most consumer batteries in their tracks. Its operating range runs from -40°F to +185°F, making it equally at home in a cold-storage facility, an outdoor enclosure, or on a hot factory floor. If the application lives in a challenging environment, this battery is built for it.
A 10-Year Shelf Life Means It's Ready When You Need It
One of the most practical advantages of lithium carbon monofluoride chemistry is how well it holds up in storage. With a shelf life of up to 10 years, you can keep a supply of these batteries on hand without worrying about capacity fade between maintenance cycles. When a scheduled or emergency replacement comes up, you'll have a fully capable battery waiting.
Wire Leads Built for Industrial Connections
The 6-inch wire leads are what set this version apart from the bare-cell BR-2/3ASSP. In PLCs and industrial control boards, pressing a battery against bare contacts isn't always practical — tight enclosures, awkward angles, and sensitive circuitry can make it difficult and risky. Pre-attached wire leads let you route the battery into position and connect cleanly, reducing both installation time and the chance of damaging a board.
This battery is a direct replacement for the Panasonic BR-2/3A and BR-2/3ASSP and is compatible with Allen Bradley and Texas Instruments series PLCs, among many other industrial devices. At 0.67 inches in diameter and 1.32 inches tall, it matches the original form factor exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment is this battery compatible with?
A: This battery is a direct replacement for the Panasonic BR-2/3A and BR-2/3ASSP. It's widely used in PLCs (including Allen Bradley and Texas Instruments series), utility meters (gas, water, electricity), memory backup systems, and industrial control equipment.
Why does this version have wire leads instead of standard contacts?
A: Wire leads make it much easier to connect the battery in tight enclosures and on circuit boards where pressing a bare cell against contacts isn't practical. The 6-inch leads give you the reach and flexibility to route the battery into position cleanly, without stressing the connection or risking damage to nearby components.
How long can this battery be stored before use?
A: Thanks to its lithium carbon monofluoride chemistry, this battery has a shelf life of up to 10 years. You can stock it well in advance and rely on it being fully capable when the time comes.
Is this battery rechargeable?
A: No. This is a non-rechargeable (primary) lithium battery. Do not attempt to recharge it, as doing so can damage the battery or the equipment it's connected to.
