Don't you feel better knowing...

...that your TSO'd ELT battery is really just six D-cell Ray-O-Vac flashlight batteries wired together in a cardboard box?



Since most ELTs are never used except for the occasional test, I wonder how many A&P's have a free source of batteries for their Maglites?

A lot of battery packs are like this, even ones in plastic housings. The cardboard is new to me.

I'm jealous. Mine uses a pack of 9V transistor radio batteries.

That'd be great if transistor radios didn't switch to AA's a couple decades ago. I suppose you could sell/donate to all those people that did the ANR conversion to their DC 13.4's.
