Original battery module to keep your GlobalFix V4 operational for years to come
This is the original ACR battery module for the GlobalFix V4 EPIRB, model RLB-41. Every emergency beacon has a replacement date printed on the label. If that date has passed, or if the beacon has been activated, the battery must be replaced before you can rely on it again.
The battery of an EPIRB or PLB must be replaced by an authorized ACR dealer or an authorized ACR battery replacement center. After the replacement, the beacon is fully tested for functionality, ensuring that it remains ready for use for the full period. This battery module is therefore intended for service partners and dealers with the proper equipment, not for DIY installation at home.
Why choose the GlobalFix V4 replacement battery?
- Original ACR part: the battery module designed for this beacon
- For the GlobalFix V4: fits model RLB-41
- Part of a full service: the beacon is re-tested after replacement
- Extends the lifespan of your beacon: a service is a fraction of the cost of a new EPIRB
Who is this product for?
This battery module is intended for authorized service centers, dealers, and boatyards that maintain ACR beacons. If you are a boat owner and your V4 is due for replacement, please contact a service point or us, and we will arrange the service for you. Installing a battery yourself without the proper testing equipment means no one can guarantee that the beacon will work when you need it.
What are the benefits for you?
- Your beacon is ready for years to come: with a new replacement date on the label
- Cheaper than new: a service costs significantly less than a new EPIRB
- Certainty through testing: the beacon is fully checked after the swap

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the battery of my EPIRB myself?
No. An emergency beacon is a life-saving device, and after a battery swap, the unit must be fully tested for functionality using the correct equipment and software. This is done at an ACR-authorized battery replacement center.
When does the battery need to be replaced?
Every beacon has a label with the replacement date. If that date has been reached, replacement is necessary. Even if the beacon has been activated accidentally or in a real emergency, the battery must be replaced because its capacity has been used.
What happens if I don't replace the battery?
Then the chance that the beacon will continue to transmit for the full prescribed time decreases. The chance of survival in a life-threatening situation is significantly reduced if a beacon is not properly maintained.
