PSA Day 6 - Today we are going to talk about the 10-year sealed battery.
The sides of the device now feature stickers for both when it was installed and when it needs to be replaced.
The backside does not feature a removable plate to open a battery casing.
The lid does not come off, it is solidly in place.
It does feature a power cord that will snap into place in the back of the device.
It is very important to hear the clicking sound of the power cord snapping into place.
And again, the red or green light will indicate that your smoke detector is hard-wired.
Upon turning the device counter-clockwise, you will bring it down and reveal 3 wires confirming the device is hard-wired.
A hard-wired smoke detector can be retrofitted with a 10 year sealed battery smoke detector.

Stay tuned for more on this topic coming to you soon...
