261699 - Miller CR2025 3V Lithium Battery with PWB Tabs

Technical Overview of the Miller 261699 Battery

The Miller 261699 is a specialized 3V DC Lithium battery designed for specific electronic applications within the Miller Electric equipment ecosystem. Based on the standard CR2025 coin cell form factor, this component is distinguished by its PWB (Printed Wiring Board) designation, indicating it is likely equipped with specific tabs or pin configurations suitable for direct mounting to circuit boards or specialized battery holders found in industrial welding machinery and accessories.

With a capacity of 150mAh, this lithium manganese dioxide battery provides a stable voltage plateau throughout its discharge cycle, which is critical for maintaining memory settings on PCBs or powering low-drain wireless communication modules. The lithium chemistry offers a low self-discharge rate, ensuring the component remains viable even after periods of inactivity or storage. This is an OEM replacement part, ensuring strict adherence to the electrical tolerances required by Miller control boards.

Technicians replacing this component should verify the polarity and mounting style matches the existing cell on the control board or device. As a PWB-style battery, it is typically used in applications where vibration resistance is required, or where a standard coin cell holder is not utilized. It is commonly associated with Miller wireless remote controls and internal machine memory backup systems.
