What type of battery does my alarm use?
You should refer to the product label on the back of your alarm (or your owner's manual) to determine the type, brand, and model of battery recommended for your specific alarm.
Alarms need fresh and powerful batteries. Sometimes off-brand batteries or batteries that have been sitting on the shelf for several years are not powerful enough and can cause your alarm to go into low battery mode.

Why Should I Have a Combination Alarm?
Combination alarms save space in your home, and they mean you only need to test and change batteries in one device rather than two.
