IC660BPM500
GE
Overview
The IC660BPM500 is a Battery pack from GE. It is part of GE's industrial automation product portfolio.
Application & Technical Notes
As a battery pack, the IC660BPM500 is intended for deployment in panel-based control cabinets and machine enclosures where the GE product portfolio equipment is installed. It performs a defined automation function within the control system and is selected to match the installed GE platform.
Key published characteristics include an operating temperature range of 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. These values should be confirmed against the current manufacturer datasheet before final selection, as options and suffixes vary by configuration.
Maintenance & Diagnostics
Respect the published operating temperature window (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit); do not exceed it during commissioning or in enclosed panels without airflow. For storage and transit, keep the unit within -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Inspect terminals and connectors for corrosion or looseness, and confirm the module seats correctly in its carrier. Always de-energise the circuit and follow lock-out/tag-out before handling; refer to the official instruction bulletin for service procedures.
Sourcing & Procurement
When sourcing the IC660BPM500, distinguish three supply tiers: (1) genuine GE stock from an authorised distributor; (2) compatible equivalents or surplus/NOS (new-old-stock) from third parties; (3) alternative parts offering equivalent function. Genuine supply carries the full warranty and traceability; compatible or alternative items may be cheaper but should be validated for form, fit, firmware and certification before use in a live system. PLCXpert publishes this page as an independent reference and does not sell the part — verify every claim with the manufacturer or your distributor.
Confirm mechanical and electrical compatibility with your GE product portfolio installation and the intended function. Lead times and pricing vary by region and lifecycle status; obtain a current quote from an authorised channel rather than relying on stale listings.

Specifications
IC660BPM500 is a 4 lb. Genius I/O Handheld Monitor Battery Pack for use with handheld monitor (HHM) model IC660HHM501. A battery pack should always be installed to operate the HHM, even if AC power is being used. IC660BPM500 provides up to six hours of operation when fully charged. To maximize lifespan, the battery should be allowed to discharge fully between charges and/or at least once a month. If battery power is too low, a “LOW BATTERY, HHM HALTED, Please recharge” message may appear. The display may also simply remain blank, or two lines may briefly appear. Current operation could be suspended if power is too low. Upon delivery, the battery pack will not be charged. Before powering a HHM for the first time, the batter pack will need to charge via the adapter for 24 hours. Subsequent recharging time is only 16 hours. It is recommended to have a spare battery pack, so the user can alternate packs while charging. If a batter pack will not charge, it is likely a faulty pack, not the HHM. When utilizing AC power to operate the HHM, the battery pack must charge for at least 20 minutes (if it is new or fully discharged). Temporary operation may be necessary before charging is complete and will require the user to plug the adapter cable into the HHM, wait 15 seconds, and then power up the HHM. The battery pack might also require removal and reinstallation for proper performance. The IC660BPM500 battery pack may begin to deteriorate if the user continually uses the HHM in AC mode for extended periods. After two years of AC operation, the battery pack may resist charge resulting in the inability to work independently. The GE Fanuc IC660BPM500 battery pack is a battery pack for Genius I-O devices. The IC660BPM500 battery pack is compatible with the GE handheld monitors. Technical specifications for IC660BPM500 Brand GE Fanuc Series Genius I-O
