Seems like we could come up with a better technology to locate these black boxes. I believe the signal from the boxes only has a range of a few miles and the battery runs out.

Egyptian el-Sisi is no nonsense he'll get to the bottom of it no matter what it takes, he's against isis/isl, jihadists, brotherhoods. AF447’s black box wasn't found until 2 years later, what they concluded initially as cause of crash based upon ACARS, the FDR only concurred whatever they yielded in the ACARS. So ACARS is good enough. Even if ELT's battery run out, the SONAR can pinpoint any metalic object in the ocean floor, having so called better technology to find the FDR is irrelevant.
