Water-Activated Battery

The battery is kept in the other half of the housing and supplies power to the transmitter. The battery operates when immersed in water (salt or fresh) or any other water based fluids (tea, coffee, soup or urine). Holes in the end cover of the battery housing let the water in. The displaced air is dispersed through vent holes in the top of the battery housing. External test points (3) on the battery housing let you check the battery condition and test the ELT .

anyhow, to contact the satellite , the antenna must be out of the water.
