Installing Battery Backup Units
The Cisco Catalyst Industrial Router 8140 Heavy Duty Series Router (IR8140H or router) supports up to three
battery backup units (BBUs), which provide power to the router if the router AC power supply fails or is not
available. This section describes the BBU features and installation procedures.
These topics are discussed:
•Battery Backup Operations, on page 1
•BBU Status, on page 2
•Battery Backup Mode, on page 3
•BBU Lifecycle Handling and Storage Guidelines, on page 3
•Preparing to Install the BBU, on page 5
•BBU Components, on page 6

Battery Backup Operations
The battery backup unit (BBU) provides the router with an emergency power source if the AC power source
is unavailable.
The router supports up to three BBU units installed at one time. The units are mounted in the center-front of
the IR8140H. When you install 3 BBUs, up to 8 hours of battery backup power is available on a fully-loaded
system in the event of an AC power failure. BBUs can be replaced in the field.
The BBU can be installed in the router while the router is powered on and operating normally.
The BBU internal components include battery cells, a primary protection circuit, a fuel gauge, and a charger.
For detailed, illustrated descriptions of the BBU, see BBU Components, on page 6.

BBU Status
The BBU must first be enabled before it can begin supplying power to the router. The BBU continues to
supply power to the router until at least one of the following conditions is met:
• All BBUs are completely discharged.
• AC power to the router is restored.
• The BBU is disabled with software commands (see Cisco Catalyst IR8140 Heavy Duty Series Router
Software Configuration).
For information on technical details about the router power path selection and the conditions that trigger the
BBU to begin operating, see BBU Technical Specifications, on page 16.

BBU Status
Battery Backup Mode
This section describes the impact on the router configuration and operating capabilities when the router
switches from AC power to BBU power.
BBU Capacity
The router supports up to three BBUs at one time. You should install as many BBUs as needed, up to three,
to meet your emergency power requirements.
If all installed batteries fully discharge while providing backup power to the router, the router will send a
dying gasp message and then shut down.
Router Configuration
The router software configuration is not impacted when the router switches from AC power to BBU power.
Universal Interface Module (UIM) Operation
By default, the Universal Interface Modules (UIMs) installed in slots continue to operate normally when the
router switches from AC power to BBU power.
You can configure the router to automatically power off specific modules when the router switches to BBU
power.
BBU Lifecycle Handling and Storage Guidelines
This section contains information about the BBU status and condition during the BBU lifecycle and how to
approach and manage it.
BBU Storage Related Definitions
• Shelf life—Shelf life is the length of time before a BBU needs to be recharged in order to avoid BBU
over-discharge.
• State of charge—State of charge (SOC) is the amount of charge on a battery and it is expressed as a
percentage value. For example, an SOC of 100% represents a battery that is fully charged, and an SOC
of 0% represents a battery that is fully discharged.
BBU Shipping and Receiving Guidelines
The BBU shipping and receiving guidelines define the BBU SOC status and how it can be managed at this
stage of the BBU life cycle:
• Cisco ships BBUs with a minimum of 60% SOC from the Cisco contract manufacturer (CM).
• Each BBU should have a minimum SOC of 50% upon receipt from the Cisco CM.
Installing Battery Backup Units

Installing Battery Backup Units
Battery Backup Mode
• A minimum SOC of 50% allows for approximately 10 weeks between shipment from Cisco’s CM
and a customer checking the SOC.
• SOC decreases approximately 1% per week (due to self-discharge).
• BBU SOC status can be checked using the command line interface (CLI).
• BBUs with less than 50% SOC should be recharged by the system integrator or customer to >50%
SOC.
BBU Storage and Handling Guidelines
The BBU storage and handling guidelines define the BBU shelf life status and how it can be managed at this
stage of the BBU lifecycle:
• The shelf life of a BBU installed in a router with discharge disabled and BBU disabled, or for a spare
BBU, is typically 6 to 12 months.
• Prior to connection to an AC source, the BBU shelf life is a minimum of 21 days.
• When long term storage at a customer site is anticipated, Cisco requires that the BBUs be recharged prior
to expiration of shelf life.
• When AC power is disconnected and the Cisco IR8140H router is removed from service:
• The router switches to DC power supplied by the BBU(s) and remains powered for approximately
8 hours.
• After 8 hours the BBU(s) reaches low voltage disconnect, and the remaining shelf life is a minimum
of 21 days.
• The BBU should be placed in "BBU disable mode" when the router is removed from service in
order to extend BBU shelf life up to 365 + 21 days
• The remaining shelf life depends on the State of Charge prior to removal of AC power and the BBU
being placed in a "BBU disable mode".
• Disabling a BBU at 0% SOC means a minimum remaining shelf life of 21 days, and disabling a
BBU 100% SOC means a maximum remaining shelf life of 386 days.
Recharging a BBU
To recharge a BBU:
Step 1 Connect the router to an AC power source.
Step 2 Enable the BBU.
Step 3 Allow at least 8 hours of charge time per BBU, i.e. for routers with 3 BBUs each, allow 24 hours charge time per router.
Step 4 When the charge time is finished, disable the BBU if the BBU will not be used as backup power for this router.

BBU Storage and Handling Guidelines
Replacing a BBU
When you replace a BBU in the router, we highly recommend:
• Replacing all the BBUs.
• Verifying all the replacement BBUs are the same version.
When a router operates with different BBU versions, it may result in misbehavior in the BBU functionality.
To replace a BBU:
Step 1 Disconnect the BBU module from the router per instructions.
Step 2 Replace all BBUs of the router at the same time.
Do not mix used BBUs with new BBUs.
Note
BBU Disposal Guidelines
Instructions for disposal of BBUs
• For routers under warranty, follow the standard Cisco RMA procedures.
• If Cisco identifies a BBU or set of BBUs as a non-functional item that can be discarded without being
returned for failure analysis, BBUs removed for replacement must be disposed of in accordance with
local guidelines.
• US and Canadian customers should utilize www.call2recycle.org to properly recycle the lithium ion
BBUs.
• For local recycling outside of the US and Canada, customers should contact the following Cisco email
• For further local take-back and recycling information, customers can refer to: www.cisco-returns.com.
Preparing to Install the BBU
Before installing BBUs in the router, ensure that the following guidelines have been met:
Tools You Supply

Safety Warnings
Read the safety warnings in Installation Safety and Site Preparation.
There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Statement 1015
Warning
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement
1030
Warning
When you replace a BBU in the router, we highly recommend:
Note
• Replacing all the BBUs.
• Verifying all the replacement BBUs are the same version.
When a router operates with different BBU versions, it may result in misbehavior in the BBU functionality.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
The BBUs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage which can occur when electronic cards or
components are handled improperly, and can result in complete or intermittent failures.
To prevent ESD damage, follow these guidelines:
• Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
• Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
• Place the BBU on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag. If the BBU will be returned to the
factory, immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
• Avoid contact between the battery and clothing. The wrist strap protects the battery from ESD voltages
on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
• Do not remove the wrist strap until the installation is complete.
BBU Components
This section illustrates and describes the BBU components you should be familiar with when installing the
