All it took is two screws to open the #plb and take out a shrink wrapped 3-cell battery. It is composed of three CR123 Lithium Manganese Dioxide non-rechargeable cells wired in series. Popped in the new battery and good for another 5 years!!
ACR ResQLink #PLB open with three cell battery without shrink wrap.
Close up of construction details of the three cells in series Lithium Manganese Dioxide CR123 based battery. Spot welded tabs - nothing interesting. Hot glue to keep them aligned.
