Do these batteries qualify as "10-year smoke alarm battery" ?

These are alkaline batteries. I doubt that they will last 10 years. You can buy lithium batteries which usually have a ten year shelf life, but they may not last 10 years in a smoke detector.

All you have to do is look at the label----if it says alkaline, it will last for a year or two----if it says lithium, then it will last 10 years.

Yes. The manual says: "Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra) #MX1604; Eveready (Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J, U9VL-J-P for longer service life between battery changes. These batteries are available at many local retail stores."

We have ordered those batteries several times and have had no problems. They seem to last 8-10 days.

Stop buying crap batteries. I have one and they have lasted over 5 years. I change them yearly now that I started to use my fireplace.

This wireless smoke detector cannot be used as a stand-alone smoke detector. It must be programmed into a Honeywell alarm system to function as intended. It uses a CR123A lithium battery that lasts about 5 to 7 years. When the battery needs replacing, it will indicate this on the alarm keypad by beeping and displaying "BAT". The unit itself does not chirp to indicate a low battery but it does have a built-in sounder for when smoke is detected.

Yes you can - all duracell batteries have expiration dates; look on the sides of the battery; it will be marked in a small white box......... mine are good until Mar 2018 !! *** Every State and many Cities or Towns may have laws that say you must change Smoke & CO detector batteries every Year or whatever - just ask your local fire dept.

I bought them a couple of months ago. I don't see a date anywhere on them but there is a stamped number of "43" on the battery. All the batteries were fully charged and I did not have any defective ones. I have bought the same batteries before from these people with no regrets.

I replace the battery itself every time I replace my vehicle battery. About 6 years. They still seem to have enough power to sound the alarm but I change them anyway.

Yes. But they're the watch style batteries if you need to replace em. Not rare, but not household type.

They seem to be a bundle of AA size batteries with a heavy duty shrink wrap I placed mine in an alarm system also as replacement. Although it was not ADT. I would think that it would be compatible. The systems from most companies is probably similar power requirements.

Although the battery may be replaceable, please note that The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says residential smoke alarms should be replaced when they fail to respond to operability tests (i.e., "Push To Test" button), or no longer than 10 years from the date of manufacture. Note "...from date of manufacture.", which could be many months prior to date of purchase or installation. For example, an alarm manufactured in April 2014; bought in July 2015; and installed in September 2015 should be replaced in April 2024 or sooner if it fails to respond to the "Push To Test" button. The date of manufacture is indicated on the label on the back of each smoke alarm. Hope this helps.

Not OK, but not uncommon. Many are apparently shipped with junk alkaline batteries marked "not for retail sale." I got the low-battery alarm 1 week after installation, and the battery failed the load test on my VOM, despite the claimed fresh-until date of "2018." A product with a claimed 7-year lifespan needs a quality lithium 9V, which costs about $6, an added expense that should be factored into the REAL cost of this item, IMO.

The batteries I bought have a date of almost 5 years after the date I bought them.

Good question, the response to which says don't buy from this vendor: Their product description talks about a ten-year shelf life, but the batteries are stamped with expiration dates that are years short of that. An Amazon message to the vendor got no response.

I am not s sure but why would you? The battery should last between 5-7 years and if the cost of the battery exceeds a new smoke detector then you replace the detector. Have to ask the mfg this 1.........

Yes, I believe they can. I have used several for that purpose. The problem is that I had very unsatisfactory results with these batteries in smoke/CO2 detectors. As I recall, these are supposed to have a good long shelf life but if you buy, PLEASE check the "expiration date" (so to speak) on your purchase. I'm sure my order was the exception rather than the rule, but my purchased box of these batteries had only 3 years or so remaining on the estimated life expectancy. I don't use the ones I still have...I'm back to Duracell or Energizer. The $ savings was tempting, but all in all, this purchase did NOT work out well for me. Yes, I believe they can.

I do not sell these. Bought the same battery and mine has lasted much longer than 5 months. Hope this helps.
