Longlife Battery Smoke Alarms

Sealed Battery Technology

Tamper-proof construction prevents unauthorised battery removal, ensuring continuous protection even when properties change hands or experience different occupancy patterns. Once installed, these units provide reliable operation for 10 full years.

Lithium chemistry delivers superior performance compared to standard alkaline batteries. These advanced cells maintain consistent voltage throughout their lifespan, ensuring optimal detection sensitivity from installation day through end-of-life replacement.

End-of-life indicators alert users when replacement time arrives. The entire unit requires replacement after 10 years, ensuring detection sensors remain within optimal operating specifications for maximum fire safety effectiveness.

Installation simplicity rivals standard battery units and provides decade-long reliability. Mount using screws or adhesive pads, then enjoy years of protection without battery maintenance concerns.

Property Management Benefits

Rental properties benefit enormously from tamper-proof designs that prevent tenants from disabling protection by removing batteries. Property managers can install these units confident they'll remain operational throughout tenancy periods.

Holiday homes and occasionally occupied properties receive continuous protection without requiring regular maintenance visits. These alarms provide peace of mind for properties that may sit empty for extended periods.

Economic Advantages

Decade-long batteries mean you won't need to replace them during most tenancies. These alarms cost more upfront, but think about what you're getting.

• No more battery shopping.
• No more climbing ladders every year.
• And those 3am chirping episodes from dying batteries? They're much less likely.

For tenants, it's practical:

• Buy once at the start of your tenancy.
• No regular battery replacements needed.
• Save money on batteries over time.

You'll still need to test the alarm regularly; that's your responsibility. But the sealed battery takes care of itself for up to ten years. The higher upfront cost can make sense when you consider the convenience.
