Thread: Replacement PLB battery????

Kti have since ceased to operate, and I bought this one as part of a bulk deal, I don’t have a NZ retailer to contact, either.

I’m figuring there must be a few hunters here who have the same unit.

Has anyone located a supplier for a suitable replacement battery? Potentially there’ll be 30 of us in Southland alone.

I’ve made contact with NZ Lithium, really nice people, but not something they do

Any suggestions/advice sincerely appreciated

I have exacty the same beacon, Skippers mate are the agent for the "new" kti beacons - they are called "Jotron" now have a look at them, they are exactly the same.
When my battery reaches its expiry date i'm going to buy a new Jotron but will probably get my old KTI beacons battery replaced as well for my daughter.
