I've got an Epirb whose battery is long overdue to replacement. It's an ACR Global Fix Pro (RLB-36). It was last replaced 3/1/2010 (and was due in 2015).
Any service centers to recommend for doing the job? This unit does not have a readily user-replaceable battery inside (spot welded tabs, not just solder) and I'm OK with paying something to do a diligent job of refurbishing it. The question is who to use? The vendor lists a local dealer that I would not put a lot of trust in their diligence for a safety device like this. So sending out to someone else seems like a better plan. Any suggestions (or warnings to avoid)?
