ACR LB15V Lithium Primary Battery for SR303
ACR LB15V Lithium Primary Battery for SR303 — Product description
The ACR LB15V is the non-rechargeable lithium primary battery built for the SR303 survival radio. It's the cell you count on when everything else has failed. Pull the witness label and the SR303 powers up and drops straight into GMDSS emergency mode.
The LB15V is the lithium primary battery built for the SR303 survival radio, and it's made for one job: to work when you need it most. This is a non-rechargeable cell, so it sits ready in the radio and holds its charge for the long haul until the day you actually need it.
Here's the smart part. The LB15V ships with a battery witness label. That label tells you at a glance whether the primary battery has ever been used. Leave it in place and you know the cell is untouched. Pull it off and the SR303 auto powers on the moment the battery is connected, then drops straight into GMDSS operation mode with channel 16, volume set to 8, and squelch at 2. No fumbling with settings in an emergency.
If you bought your SR303 as the Emergency Radio (p/n 4586), the LB15V is the battery that came with it. Buy the Emergency Radio Full Kit (p/n 4587) and you get the LB15V alongside the RB16V rechargeable cell for everyday use.

Frequently asked questions
Is the LB15V rechargeable?
No. The LB15V is a lithium primary battery, which means it's non-rechargeable. It's meant to sit ready in your SR303 and deliver reliable power in an emergency. For everyday, rechargeable use, the RB16V lithium battery is available instead.
What is the battery witness label for?
The witness label lets you confirm at a glance whether the primary battery has ever been used. As long as the label is intact, you know the cell is untouched and ready. Once you remove it, the SR303 powers on and enters GMDSS mode automatically.
What happens when I remove the witness label?
Once the label is off and the battery is connected, the SR303 auto powers on and automatically enters GMDSS operation mode with preset settings: channel 16, volume level 8, and squelch set to 2.
Does my SR303 already include the LB15V?
If you bought the SR303 as the Emergency Radio (p/n 4586), the LB15V is the only battery included. If you bought the Emergency Radio Full Kit (p/n 4587), you get the LB15V plus the RB16V rechargeable lithium battery for everyday use.
