1·3 months agoLithium batteries last 5-10 years, regular 9v alkaline batteries last about 12-18 months. Some sources recommend changing the batteries every 6th month but i personally think that’s a bit excessive.
I only have a small 2 room apartment so i just got myself a cheap-ish optical smoke detector with a built in lithium battery. The battery should last 10 years which is how long smoke detectors last before they should be replaced.
Yea the lithium-ion batteries are pretty good, you can also get 10 year smoke detectors with a built in lithium battery. Also a psa, smoke detectors usually only last 10 years and need to be replaced after that. There’s often an expiry date on the detectors.
The battery in smoke detectors should be changed every year and you should ideally test the detectors using the little button monthly.
In Norway we have an official smoke detector day which is on December 1. where we’re supposed to change the batteries. Its because Christmas is the high season for house fires.
I use fedora btw
