Your question need to be answered by HD. I'm just a customer like you. I like the alarm; it's smaller than a golf ball and the battery life is excellent. When it needs a new battery, it will be time to replace it. Since smoke detectors / CO alarms have limited sensor life. In 5~10 years technology will advance.
Yes, this smoke alarm which is a fraction of the size of a standard size smoke alarm can be mounted in the same space where a standard size smoke alarm was previously located. The manufacturer recommends mounting a smoke alarm on each level in a home and in each bedroom. An old standard size smoke alarm can be removed and one of the mounting holes can possibly be re-used to mount the plastic bracket that this micro size smoke alarm snaps into.
the one I have it lasts about a year. it does beep when low. the best smoke alarm I've ever had.
Hi Tate, It mounts on the wall or ceiling, follow the manufacturers directions regarding placement, this is very important. Mike
The ceiling is much better. Smoke rises to the ceiling and then pushes downward. You want it to sound in time to save your life, so mount it on the ceiling.
This will mount anywhere you can screw into sheetrock.
If your question is about vape from cigarettes I've heard yes they will set off smoke alarms Now keep in mind with all of this said I have no knowledge of vaping, I have never used them Hope this helps
Vape is not smoke it's vapor (liquid, like steam). This won't detect it.
Replace the battery. Lithium CR2
I will dispose of mine if it lasts that long.
Continued testing of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms has shown that after about 10 years the sensors begin to degrade and may reduce or inhibit the alarm from detecting and alarming. The cost to replace the alarms after 10 years and ensure your family's safety is worth the cost. Also, remember...the test button is only testing the battery/power source and alarm capability, it is not testing the alarms ability to detect.
Most smoke alarms are good for 5~7 years. The batteries in the older style were good 1~2 years. In time the ionization / detector becomes contaminated with general household chemicals / dust etc. that cause them to loose selectivity. They are not cleanable on the microscopic level needed for proper sensitivity / function. That's why all of suppliers recommend periodic replacement.
Replace the battery and check just as you would a new detector.
Lithium CR2
This micro smoke alarm is supplied with one CR2 3 volt lithium battery that is designed to operate the micro smoke alarm for 10 years. Home Depot carries CR2 3 volt lithium batteries. Energizer Model EL1CR2BP2 Internet #202604757 Lithium CR2 Batteries (2-Pack)
Duracell CR2 Lithium, or equivalent.
Duracell ultra cr2
Watch battery, cr123
The commenter who says the battery will last 10 years is incorrect. Model P1000 has a "long life" battery, but it is not 10 years. To get the 10-year battery, you need to buy model P1010.
