Was in the bulk warehouse yesterday and wandered past the fire alarms, as the van needed a new one I started to have a look. Wanted something which was not bulky and photo elec one caught my eye as it had a 10 year lithium battery sealed inside.
installed it in the van and certainly is not very big. Took a comparison photo against the usual 9 v battery used in smoke alarms

Looks good CC. Maybe they are for 'small fires' only

Given the size and fixed battery, do you need to replace it if it goes off? I would imaging that an active alarm would use up a reasonable amount of the available power.
