Service Overview
Why Timely Battery Replacement Matters?
Batteries in maritime safety devices such as EPIRBs, SARTs, and VHF radios have a limited lifespan. Under SOLAS regulations, batteries must be replaced before the expiry date or when capacity drops below the required level to ensure the device functions when needed.
- EPIRB battery - replace every 5 years or per manufacturer
- SART battery - replace every 4-5 years
- Handheld VHF battery - replace every 5 years
- AIS SART battery - replace every 5 years
