Why Battery Replacement and Servicing Matter
EPIRBs (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons) are vital marine safety devices that transmit a 406 MHz distress signal via COSPAS-SARSAT satellites, enabling rescuers to quickly pinpoint your location in emergencies. Many models now include GPS for improved accuracy. EPIRBs are strictly for life-threatening situations.
EPIRB Categories:
Category I (Automatic): Activates when submerged, ideal for commercial or large recreational boats.
Category II (Manual): Manually activated, best for smaller boats or as backup.
Battery Replacement is Critical:
EPIRBs require routine battery replacement to remain compliant and reliable. Two key battery dates:
Replacement Date (for Coast Guard vessels)
Shelf Life Date (for recreational use, typically longer)
Failure to replace on time can lead to non-compliance and device failure.
