will it take a 10 year lithicum battery

The only thing I see about batteries in the instructions is: Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two "AA" Duracell MN1500 batteries. ** Warning! Always use the exact batteries specified by this User's Manual. DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. Nothing else is said about any other battery. From the sound of it, maybe you shouldn't use a 10 year battery and go with the Duracell OR at least call the company and ask them directly.

I don't see why not, but remember, it takes two AA batteries and not a 9v. I wasn't aware they made 10 yr smoke detector batteries in anything but 9v. Anyway, since the battery is not recharged by the detector, it should take any AA battery. I guess the replacement frequency would really depend on how often your power goes out and how well the battery holds a charge.

The battery should last several years I am hoping. The charge on the battery is more like 5-7 hours depending on what you are running.

the "10" as first digits means manufactured in 2010. Realistic life expectancy of battery is 8.5 years. You should buy only ones with with "13" or "14" and not a "10"

I believe it takes the lithium CR3220 which usually lasts between 6 months and a year.

I am not sure about that but they make two sizes of battery for this. The larger battery should last a very, very long time. The smaller battery lasts plenty long for my sidewalks, driveway, and patio.

Yes. I use lithium ion batteries in Milwaukee location and so far they've lasted 18 months with at least 5 comings and goings a day.

10 years is the *SHELF LIFE* (estimated). When used in something, it won't magically last 10 years unless that something has a very low current draw. Alkaline 9V batteries might have 550-650 mAh, and Lithium 9V batteries might be 1200-1300, so really you're talking about doubling the capacity, but with a longer shelf life. In other words, don't pay attention to just the shelf life or you'll be in for a shock when it only lasts twice as long in a smoke detector... just bad marketing there, or customers paying attention to the wrong metrics of comparison.

ours has worked great for a couple of years. it still has the original batteries in it.

Not readily apparent. You will have to contact the manufacturer. I replace the battery in my alarm system every 5 years regardless of whether the battery has failed or not, and I have had two of these batteries last the full 5 years.

Yes, all SLA batteries can handle almost any load. 10 ah means that you can draw 10 amps for 1 hr or 20 amps for 1/2 hour and even 50 amps for 20 minutes. If you only operate a 12 volt 30 watt flouresent fixture, the battery will be at full brightness for 4 hours. (12v x 10 ah /30 watts = 4 hr).

It would last a long time, as long as you take out the battery after each used. Just simple as that..:)

Energizer claims this battery holds its power 8 years if unused (see www.energizer.com/batteries/Specialty/watch-electronic/Pages/coin-lithium-1632bp.aspx). Because 8 years is promised, my guess as an Electronics Engineer is that the maximum useable shelf life may be closer to 9 or even 10 years.

I haven't used it that much, so I really don't know. However, I suspect it somewhat. Hmm ... I noticed the build date was 3 years before I received the battery.

The information says its a "lifetime" battery if I remember correctly. I figure even if I replace it in every 7 or 8 years for my own sanity, then I've still gotten my money's worth in savings on 9V batteries!

I will check date on battery box and respond, the batteries are suppose to last ten years. My use of batteries are to power Fire and smoke detectors so I expect 120 months of performance.

There is a factory installed battery that is supposed to last ten years. I installed one on my last boat and it is still going after twelve years.

Ours is going into the third year with pretty regular use. Be sure you select only an alkaline battery or the new Quantum series by Duracell, with an expiry date quite a ways out.
