Description
If you're searching for a Lathem 5000EP backup battery that keeps your clock running during a power outage, this operational battery is the simple, factory-designed solution. Installed directly inside the Lathem 5000EP time clock, it allows employees to continue punching IN and OUT even when the machine is unplugged or facility power is interrupted.

Employees can keep working and punching without disruption, helping prevent missed time entries and payroll corrections after outages.
The battery is designed specifically for the Lathem 5000EP and fits securely inside the cabinet for a clean, protected installation. No external pack, no complicated wiring, and no modification to the clock housing.
