ACR Epirb Battery - The Hull Truth

jodywoj · 01-21-2010, 07:02 PM

Whats the current price price for a battery replacement & testing and what's the deal with the antennas? I heard that the older yellows ones need to be replaced and are covered under warranty by ACR? Is this true?

Thanks,

Try sending a pm to ACRGuy. Hes been a big help to lots of us. Ref. the antenna, when I had my battery changed, they asked before I sent it if the antenna had broken. It hadn't, but they advised that lots had and if mine had broken, ACR would probably cover it.

Plan on $250-300 depending on the specific Epirb you own for battery replacement and service check at an authorized ACR dealer.

The antennas are covered under under warranty and EPIRB batteries run $200 and up depending on the manufacturer including installation.
