What kind of battery does a smoke detector take?

What kind of battery does a smoke detector take?

The specification of battery required by any type of smoke alarm can be found in the user manual. It is very common that user manuals, after installation, are often thrown away. However, if the smoke alarm has a replaceable battery, this information can also be found on the back of the alarm when taken off the base plate. The use of the battery which has not been specified by the manufacturer, could damage the smoke alarm or even mean that the alarm does not function as it should.
How to replace a smoke alarm battery?

How to replace a smoke alarm battery?

Most smoke alarms with a replaceable battery, will have a battery compartment. When taken off the base plate, a battery compartment will be visible. The battery compartment may have a lid or the batteries may be instantly visible. If there is no compartment lid, the batteries can be taken out and replaced. If there is a compartment lid, this will need to be removed before the old batteries can be taken out, and the new ones can be inserted. Once the smoke alarm batteries have been replaced, the alarm can be reinstalled onto its base plate on the ceiling.
