This is the original rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the ACR SR303 VHF radio. Intended for daily use, allowing the seal on the primary emergency battery to remain intact for inspection purposes.
Rechargeable battery for daily use of the SR303 on board This is the original ACR rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the SR303 VHF radio. With this rechargeable lithium-ion battery, you can use the SR303 for routine communication on board while keeping the sealed primary battery unused. Exactly as ACR designed the kit with part number 4587: a device you use daily without compromising your emergency supply.
A VHF 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 is no longer compliant, regardless of how well it otherwise functions. Therefore, include checking the date in your annual safety equipment inspection.
Why choose the SR303 rechargeable battery?
Original ACR part: the battery designed for the SR303
Keeps your equipment compliant: an expired battery date means rejection during an inspection
For daily use: this keeps the seal on your emergency battery intact
Quickly resolved: order a single part instead of a complete new device
