Hope this is helpful, but the BBR Industries LLC ResQLink PLB replacement batteries are sold on ebay for US$20 + ~US$20 shipping to NZ. Just search "A3-06-2703" on ebay. As mentioned by No. 3, they won't ship direct from their website, but do ship via e-bay.

Apologies, but after a long delay I have been informed BBR Industries LLC won't ship via ebay either (despite there being an option for this on ebay). Sorry team ...

I looked at that and yeah, they don't play. A retired plastic housing with the guts stripped and a battery shoved in it would get around the no airfreight restriction, but probably too much hassle for the number of sales they'd get...

I went down the same route, spoke to some electrical mates and they said for just spend the money.
Know of a few hunting mates ow, that have had to call in medivac air support after narly accidents. Woke me up. I used wilco marine from memory. Wasn't cheap but peace of mind when shit gets real is the insurance I'm after.

Out of interest, do many people use YouPost for scenarios like this? It gets around the finishes bit wanting to sell outside the States

The issue is getting the Li-Ion batteries out of the country of origin - they are classed as DG for air freight and unless they are in a device they can't be shipped effectively as the paperwork etc is a ball ache.
