The IBM 45D6960 is an internal battery feature (IBF) unit, designated IBF-EZ. IBM offers the IBF on its larger frames as an alternative to relying entirely on an external uninterruptible supply. The batteries sit inside the frame alongside the bulk power hardware and carry the machine through a short interruption.
System z mainframes and the largest Power servers are still running production workloads in banking, insurance, government and manufacturing. IBM designed them to be serviced part by part, with hot pluggable power, cooling and I/O units held in redundant configurations so that a single failure is a scheduled repair rather than an outage. Sourcing the correct unit for the machine type in question is what keeps that model working.
