Visually it appears to be identical to the original. Everything fits seems to be a good product.
Best thing about coronavirus is rapid delivery by UPS. This helped immensely with turnaround time on annual inspection.
We experienced a simple and quick replacement of the expired battery with this kit.
Dont know what to say other than it has 7 years life and looked like the one I took out. It had enough energy in it to do the annual test. The last one lasted the 7 years. Well see about this one.
Shipped promptly, battery marked with an expiration date 7 years in the future (2025) so it was a recently manufactured one. Artex says battery should be replaced on or before 6 years after it is installed so it should go the distance. The install kit contains instructions, a new gasket and a couple of extra screws in case you loose one.
Fast fast fast shipping, thank you
Arrived in perfect condition with 7 years to expiration.
The battery pack includes everything including the back plate with updated expiration date information. The price is a bit much but what can you do?

The new expiration date for replacing (or recharging) the battery must be legibly marked on the outside of the transmitter and entered in the aircraft maintenance record.
