So aside from warranty claims replacing these for you, most of them run on cr123A batteries which you can replace easily enough. The Orca micro smoke ones pop out just like a AA battery.

Thanks for that; useful to know that the product’s EOL isn’t dictated by its initial battery - will give one of these a go.

The recommendation is to replace your smoke detectors every 10 years.

 

All electronics fail, and you want to replace your smoke alarm before it fails.
