    The backup battery is a 'Standard 9V battery' and they quote Duracell #MN1604 as an example which means a PP3, they're available almost everywhere from multiple manufacturers, they all look like this ......

    I have Kidde smoke alarms at home, connected to the mains as well.

    Recently one of them started to bleep, so I assumed it needed a new battery installed as a backup. I did this, but it still bleeped.

    I noticed that the expiry date on the alarm itself had passed, so I bought a new one on eBay.

    Just in case the replacement battery doesn't stop your bleeping, something to bear in mind.
