Choosing the right smoke alarm battery is more than a technical decision—it’s about safety, reliability, and long-term peace of mind. From homes to hotels, the battery inside your smoke detector plays a vital role in how well it protects what matters most.

Deheng Smart Electric Co., Ltd offers tailored solutions for global markets, including 10-year smoke alarms with sealed lithium batteries and 9V replaceable battery detectors. Let’s explore which option best fits your needs.


10-Year Smoke Alarm with Built-In Lithium Battery (DH-00 Series)

What Is a Sealed Lithium Battery Smoke Detector?

This type of alarm comes with a factory-sealed DC 3V lithium battery (such as CR123A) that powers the device for its entire lifespan—up to 10 years without replacement.

Also known as a maintenance-free or 10-year smoke alarm, it’s designed for set-and-forget protection.

Why Choose a 10-Year Lithium Alarm?

✅ Full 10-year operation — no battery changes needed

✅ Zero maintenance — saves time and reduces long-term costs

✅ Tamper-proof design — battery cannot be removed or misplaced

✅ Consistent performance — reliable protection for a decade

These benefits make 10-year smoke alarms a top choice in regions with strict safety standards and for properties where access and upkeep are challenging.
