EPIRB brands


Recommended Posts

The rescueME EPIRB1 has a 10 yr battery life. Just wondering what the class 3 is that they claim. Is it an electrical class or does that mean Cat 3 and 48hr plus operating life. Would that meet Cat 3 requirements

the reviews seem to show it is the type that can be left on a bulkhead and float out of the cabin + turn itself on if boat sinks - hydrostatic release

 

those are supposed to have a 48hr transmit life 

 

i have a floatable but also pocketable gme400 which needs to be manually turned on, it can only fit 24hrs worth of battery life into the much smaller case

 

many of the newest models are moving towards user replaceable 10yr battery packs
