Question

Re ELT battery life in general.

I have understood the oft-repeated 'non-rechargeable' nature of the battery, but what is the ELT useful battery limit and what happens when these reach the end of their battery life? Presumably they are swapped out on a regular basis, say once every five years (?), but are they easy to swap out? Does anyone know?
