Apparently this unit uses special Lithium batteries which can only be replaced at a special ACR authorized service station (this according to the online manual). Do you know the cost and other details involved in that. It's needed every five years? Thanks

Bruce, Replace the battery after 5 years or if you use it in an emergency. You can find a battery replacement center at ACR's website, link is below. I called my local center and the rep I spoke with informed me that the PLB battery would cost an estimated $150.00 - $200.00, but ACR would replace the battery for free should you use the PLB in an emergency situation, were rescued and allowed ACR to publish your story. www.acrelectronics.com/brcloc/default.htm
