john,

We replaced our EPIRB (ACR) battery last year with Life Raft and Survival in RI. The cost was just over $200 plus shipping. The work was completed on time and I would use these guys again. Their website is : http://www.lrse.com/ .

Good luck,
Tom

Hi John
One of my EPIRBs was due a battery change two years ago. I was told by the factory that an authorized dealer had to do it. The one here in Florida wanted $242.
I starting hunting online and found the battery for $67. Simple install and it tests fine. Mine was out of warranty so no issues there.
