I can only find one with the expensive lithium replaceable batteries.... Thanks -Mike Kraus Sent from my iPhone ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:36:08 PM PST US From: Bruce Swayze Subject: Re: RV-List: 406 ELT and batteries You have to remember, the lithium batteries will last 5 years. So how much would one spend on regular D-cell batteries during that time? Last thing you want is to have a mayday and your batteries are dead because you forgot to replace them. Something to think about. Just my 2-cents. At 10:56 AM 5/23/2014, you wrote: > >Do they make a 406 ELT with D cell batteries?

The date code is 2008. They all still show well above 1.5 volts. Alkaline batteries last a looong time sitting 'on the shelf', which is (hopefully) what they are doing in an ELT. Without debating the merits of 406 ELTs, sometimes 'new' really means 'more money' for the guy who paid the regulator.

I wouldn't put those batteries where you might need to depend on them.

I bought the 406 ELT too early and couldn't prove the date on the batteries. I purchased a $5 D-Cell flashlight on sale at the local grocery store and added a $5 6-Volt LED to keep my old $70 lithium batteries in. Best damn $5 flashlight ever. john On 5/23/2014 2:35 PM, Bruce Swayze wrote: > > You have to remember, the lithium batteries will last 5 years.
