Is the Jotron SA 20 on the market yet in NZ / AUS? I assume the battery will be the same as the KTI units?

I recommend going through locatorbeacons.co.nz
Anything they stock will be suitable.

Nah i've got a KTI already and was curious if there was a battery replacement for them through the new "Jotron sa20" which appears to be the same thing...

Would be good to know as also have a kti which only has a couple of years left on the battery

The batteries can be replaced, You can send them away to the supplier for replacement or else DIY if you know what you are doing
Shelf life is typically more than 10 years, but to be on the safe side they give the units a 10 year battery lifespan.
Most of the pocket sized ones these days just contain a readily available CR123A battery.

I've tagged the supplier in my original message, the manufacturer of KTI ceased operations a couple of years ago.
