Smoke Alarm Battery

Raven_k42 · 2023-02-04 19:20:43

Evening all Beginner question I'm afraid !. One of our hardwired smoke alarms beeping - believe the backup battery gone. I need to replace - and get the cover off. Can anyone tell me how to remove cover to get to the battery ?. I've tried twisting but maybe too gently - I don't want to force/damage it. Thanks, K

Try this

Usually there’s a tab to release and the unit will either twist or slide off.

(not an electrician, only going on the ones I’ve had)
