Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday, November 7th. That means it's time once again to test your facility's smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Batteries Plus can help provide you with everything you need to keep your staff safe and protected. Find out more about our best-performing alkaline solutions, as well as our selection of replacement smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

What Type of Batteries Do Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Run On?

The majority of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors run on 9-volt batteries, although some models run on AA or AAA batteries. Experts recommend checking the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors every six months. This is especially important in a business setting that regularly houses a number of staff and clients.
