In the last two weeks, every builder I talked to (including an
inspector) was not aware that most ELT remotes require a battery to operate.

No big deal, you think? Well, it is if you've mounted the ELT remote on
your panel and have no way to access the battery.

So, be forewarned... ensure you can easily remove the ELT remote to
insert/change the battery. I can access mine by removing my GPS, but a
friend of mine building a SeaStar would have had a lot of trouble if I
hadn't pointed it out.

JFTR...

Many Artex remote switch units DO NOT require a battery, but are instead
hardwired to ship's power.

If you have a tip-up like me, mounting the ELT remote high on the panel
gives it excellent access for replacing the battery. Now, be sure to label the
ELT remote with the date the battery must be replaced.

Sorry, Mike -- but if you are referring to the Ameri-King AK-450 you are in
for a rude surprise. Here is a quote from their published feature list:
- Mini Remote Control Panel with independent Battery built-in,
therefore Interface with Aircraft Electrical Power is not required.

Having just installed a 450 last weekend, I can assure you that the AK-450
does in fact have a battery in the remote unit.
