SYST-035 low or no Battery power in PSU

    At power up this morning, A SYST-035 low or no battery power in PSU alarm came up on RJ-3 controller.

    Just changed all the batteries last week in robot base, robot controller and for positioners.

    Is this A different battery that needs replacing? Would this be something I could do?

    Code
    SYST-035 Low or No Battery Power on MAIN
Cause:  Battery in PSU board is low in power.
Remedy:  Replace the Old Battery with a new battery of same kind.

    I don't have the documentation on hand but I would suspect that this is the battery in the controller. We have an RJ-3 and we only replace the batteries in the robot base and the controller. Is it possible that you replaced the battery with a dead battery or the wrong battery?

    That was just what I was wondering, I get them from the tool crib, I normally check the voltage before I put it in but was trying to due too many things at once this time. I am going to get A new one again and check voltage before I swap out the one I changed last week.

    I don't ever trust the batteries in our tool crib when it comes to "special" batteries. AA and AAA sure, they get used all the time and are consistently restocked. But anything else could have been in there for who knows how many years.

    Got another new battery from crib this morning and checked the voltage which was 3 volts.

    Swapped out battery I put in last week, cleared alarms all good at power up, no alarms.

    Checked voltage on new one from last week and found .85 volts.

    This is the first time in 17 years this has happened. I took the the bad one out of the sealed box myself, so I know it wasn't used, but don't know how old it was. I will from now on check voltage, and date the box on the batteries when we receive them. It was the battery that is in the controller.

    I will check them again before I replace them in the controller also because we are prone to short power outages in our building. We normally order these replacement batteries in pairs for each robot.

    We just went through something similar only it was the pulse coder batteries in the base of the robot. After our guy replaced them two robots alarmed out for battery alarms and upon checking the voltage they were bad. Luckily we hadn't shut them off for the weekend like we usually do. Then we checked the date on the box and they were past their shelf life. Not a bad idea to take a few seconds to check to save some real headaches later. Glad you got it figured out.
