Can you use a regular 9V alkaline battery in place of the 9V lithium battery should the lithium battery go bad ?
1874878
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 manylocal retail stores."

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.

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.........

The lithium battery supplied is designed to last the life of the detector. At that point, in my opinion, its probably best to go out and buy a new detector.

In a regular lead acid bsttery you need a deep cycle, this one is lithium and I don't know , check with manufacturer, usually you would kill the battery

I haven't tried with 9 volts but if you intend to use a 9 volt battery better connect a resistor in series, there are guides on google to calculate the the value of the resistor to be used!

Yes you can! Although I'd advise against it given that it uses 1900mha battery so it would drain any regular alkaline batteries in hours
1539363
Yes. I think that is the only kind you can use. I tried regular batteries (non-lithium) and it would not work.

lithium and alkaline batteries are each suited for particular uses. Lithium batteries are more suited for heavy duty use. you might want to pose this question to the manufacturer on their website as to why this is a requirement.,

Thank you for your question. You can use this item with two alkaline battery! First time, this is included two!! THANK YOU

Absolutely not. You cannot possibly "push" current into a lithium-based battery. As long as you do not exceed the voltage (which is USB standard), all you care about is having enough current capability - no worry about too much.

I am, as a matter of fact, using lithium batteries. But I can't see how that could make a difference. Any AA batteries (lithium or alkaline) should work. I can't be sure of course but I think your problem most likely comes from something other than the batteries.

In many cases AA lithium batteries will resolve this problem. Lithium batteries retain their voltage in cold weather better than alkaline.

Dear Buyer ,You can use "AA" Alkaline battery with this battery case , Not Lithium cells.

Yes ... but I'd use a better branded long lasting or rechargeable 9 volt battery to be on the safe side.

I don't know anything about a lithium battery. I have had my grill for two years with no problem. I use it on an average of once a week.

It just takes a regular 9v. So prolly 24-36 hours of straight use. But not totally sure. You would be better to look up what a 9v battery can do.

There should be no problems using lithium batteries with this camera. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Hi u can use either battery I use the 9096 nicad it's cheaper than lithium ion advantage to lithium ion is it will last longer before a charge but nicad is great

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.
