A quick question for those in the know.



Is there electrical wiring that goes to the ELT to maintain a charge on the 

ELT's battery or is there simply the internal battery in the unit which it 

runs off off in mishap?



Thanks,



John G.

My ELT (in my Cherokee) has an internal battery that is replaced on a

scheduled basis. The ELT is also recertified every year. There is no

external power source to it.

John,



My 450 only has "D" batteries and basically a "phone cord" that runs from the ELT to the panel mounted switch. Only other connector is the antenna lead.

I am using the AmeriKing ELT (AK-450).  It requires no power wiring.  It 

is powered by the D size alkaline batteries.  It does require a coax 

cable to the antenna (that I will mount in under the far rear tail 

fairing) and a RJ11 wire (phone wire and jacks) that goes from the ELT 

(mounted near the battery) to the remote display (mounted in the 

panel).   Here is a link to the installation manual

While we're on the subject, is there any real compelling reason to 

install a 406Mhz ELT (other than the obvious COSPAS-SARSAT discontinued 

service in 02/09?).  I don't recall ever hearing of a GA aircraft being 

located with the assistance of satellites, and I'm not clear if this is 

a mandate.  One other question...is one mfg. of ELT considered "trash" 

whereas another as "treasure"?
