I've been carrying a McMurdo FastFind (personal locator beacon) as well. When the battery expired a couple of years ago, I shipped it off to these guys for a new battery: https://www.lrse.com/.
I recall reading that the "help" signal was more reliable than a Spot, and I didn't mind the higher up front cost since it didn't come with a subscription fee. The downside, of course, is that there is no texting, calling, or check in buttons on it. It's basically an emergency-only paperweight that sits unused in my backpack, and I hope it stays that way.
