Following from Honeywell -
Specifications (RESCU 406 AFN2)
MTBF 100,000 hours (estimated)
Certifications Approved by Boeing, Airbus, Dassault, FAA
RF Power 100 mW 121.5 MHz, 5 watts (406 MHz)
Battery Service Life 12 Years
Compatibility Backwards compatible with RESCU 406 AFN
Note the 12 year battery life.

I believe there are 2 packs comprising 4 cells in each and most likely of the Li-MnO2 type.
