Thread: Replacement PLB battery????

I’ve just received my KTi PLB with replacement battery, from Battery Masta, Christchurch.
$115 all up, with a 5-year warranty battery reminder. Many thanks to Gavin and the good service.
Yes, I appreciate there are some arguments vs a new unit, new technology, and 11 year battery etc, but this solution suits my needs and situation.

My ACR battery is due for renewal for the second time.
being quoted below (what the hell needs to be serviced on this I'll never know.

Battery: $158.00 + GST
Service: $65.00 + GST
Sundries: (varies as required) $2.00+ + GST
Courier Charges: $10.00 – $25.00 depending on where in the country.

That makes it a viable proposition. 5 yrs from now they might have all caught up on the cell phone side of communications

I would take that to mean labour or inspection?
