You're right they only strongly recomend changing the batteries every
year. It may be a Canadian requirement though that made me think I
have to. It's not really an issue cuz I recycle the used batteries
into flashlights.


The Ameri-King manual is he http://www.ameri-king.com/pdf/9.1.22.pdf,
says pretty much the same thing about batteries.

That's not true. According to ACK's documenthttp://www.ackavionics.com/images/Model_e-01_ELT_Manual.pdf
You only need to replace the Duracell dated batteries before the
expiration date printed on the batteries. That document is an FAA
approved document.
