Hi my batteries have expired on my smoke detector. Can I use Alkaline or do I have to buy Lithium batteries? My model is unwired.
Thanks for you help

Hi @GraemeW1
According to the support site, they require Lithium batteries.
Both battery and wired Protect require Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA (L91) batteries.
Don’t use rechargeable or alkaline batteries. If you do, they will quickly drain and will need to be replaced soon after installing them.
Protect (Battery) requires 6 AA batteries. Protect (Wired) requires 3 AA as backup batteries. Wired Protects will use backup batteries if there’s a power outage.
