Checking your EPIRB

Just a reminder to check your EPIRB, went to Exmouth early in May cleaned the boat out when we got home and when replacing the gear gave the GME EPIRB a check and the battery was flat, not due for replacement until 2026, there appeared to be cracks that developed near the GPS sender, can't remember dropping or hitting it with anything and when not in use the boat is in a shed, the top had discoloured as well. Sent it to GME in Sydney and they're replacing it under warrenty so all good in that regard so just putting it out there that everyone should do a regular checks as it could save you a bit if grief.
