The battery is not replaceable. Claims a 10-year battery life but this one expired after 4. Less than 1 year after fitting.
This is rubbish. Keeps going off randomly. It’s in the hallway, not in the kitchen or bathroom. Lots of other reviewers make the same point.
Highlights
Quality
A neat and easy solution to replace my faulty smoke alarm with no battery replacement for 10 years
Easy to install land far less sensitive to steam from the shower or kitchen smoke than before

Price
Great product at a great price with 10 year battery.
