This is the original alkaline test battery for the ACR SR203 handheld radio. Intended for testing or practicing with the unit without engaging the primary emergency battery, ensuring your emergency supply remains sealed.
Test battery that allows you to check the radio without using the emergency battery
This is the original ACR alkaline test battery for the SR203 handheld radio. This alkaline test battery belongs to the SR203 and is intended to allow you to check or use the unit for training purposes without having to open the primary emergency battery. This saves you money: every time you break the red protective seal, your emergency supply is no longer officially sealed.
A radio that is part of your mandatory safety equipment is also checked for its battery date during an inspection. If that date has expired, the device no longer complies, regardless of how well it works. Therefore, include checking the date in your annual round of safety equipment inspections.
