    I should say that Satellitephonestore was/is a authorized center for ACR; I found them by contacting ACR. So, if you have another brand, call your manufacturer.

    Thanks all for the added info.  Sometimes specs have to be dug out, though.  And not sure that tackling all the data is worth the time.  Did order a PLB 1 battery for under $30, and hope the packaging will include instructions for installation, but will reread the thread for service info.  Will stick with that.  Doubt my tiny LG flip phone would have the same range, but it is easy to recharge the battery, and it displays when it is ready to go.

    So got the new battery, but with zero instructions.  This thread suggests that replacing the battery is complex, and that it may be better to have it professionally done.  If I were not subjected to constant scams, I might be more accepting of all this.  Will look around for someone local to install and test the battery, and continue to use the LG flip phone, which I carry anyway, and is good enough to seek help in most situations.  (It happens regularly with hikers in the White Mountains of NH.)  The PLB 1 appears to be fine now.  If it does need a replacement, that will depend on the cost.

    I found a youtube video for replacing the InReach Mini battery

    Jerry; thank you much. Will try it when the current battery wears out.
