Notes for battery replacement customers

We carry a limited stock of batteries to insure a five year guarantee on every replacement we perform. Turnaround times may vary if stock is not available at the time of service.

Please be aware that any EPIRB or PLB sent for repair with a cracked or fractured housing will have to be sent to ACR Electronics in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for replacement, which may extend the turnaround time.

When shipping your EPIRB for battery replacement, please be sure to remove and include the antenna by following these instructions:

  1. Gently Remove the antenna by unscrewing at the base.
  2. Secure antenna to the body of your EPIRB with rubber band or tape prior to packaging.
