Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire by 50%, and that's important because a home fire starts every 83 seconds! The faster you know about a fire, the faster you can start moving your family outside. The First Alert smoke alarm with lithium battery gives you the peace of mind of a 10-year battery life warranty. It uses ionization smoke sensing technology with a new contemporary enhanced smoke gathering design. It features a low battery alert to remind you when to change the battery and has a missing battery guard to ensure that a battery is placed inside the alarm. The side battery drawer slides open for easy battery replacement. A blinking power indicator on the unit confirms that it is receiving power. The silence/test button allows you to both silence a non-threatening alarm and to test the unit's functionality. The alarm contains an optional pin to lock the battery and unit in place for tamper resistance. It can be mounted on either the ceiling or the wall and can be used in mobile homes and RVs. It includes one 9-volt lithium power cell with 10-year battery life warranty. 10-year limited warranty on alarm unit. UL listed for safety. Approved for sale in Oregon.--Bree Norlander

What's in the Box
One smoke alarm, user's manual, and one 9-volt lithium power cell

3.0 out of 5 stars Sensitivity Level of These Detectors., November 2, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Alert SA305CN Smoke Alarm with Long Life Lithium Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought 2 of these alarms to replace a couple other alarms in my home as they were about 15 yrs. old & thought it might be wise to "update". The long-life lithium batteries was a real selling pont to me. The one thing that concerns me about these new detectors is that aren't nearly as sensitive as my old detectors were. My wife ocassionally burns things while cooking, or gets the oven too hot. My old detectors would "go off" when this happened. These new ones have not signalled when this happens but the old ones still do. I tested the new ones by heating an iron skillet on the stove with a bit of grease in it. LOTS of smoke bellowed out, the old detectors sounded immediately but it took a couple minutes longer and a lot more smoke for the new ones to finally signal. Hope this isn't over-reaction on my behalf but I sort of like the sensitivity level of the older detectors compared to the new ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, June 5, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Alert SA305CN Smoke Alarm with Long Life Lithium Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)
After reading that smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, and not knowing the age of some in the house, we replaced them all with these devices. They're inexpensive, and if they operate as advertised the lithium battery will cost less than 10 years worth of alkalines. Besides, I get tired of getting out the ladder for the one in the high ceilinged room and with these there's no worrying about remembering to change the batteries. I just wrote the month and year installed with a Sharpie on the one in the basement and we'll replace them in a decade or so.

4.0 out of 5 stars No frills, long-life smoke detector, February 16, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: First Alert SA305CN Smoke Alarm with Long Life Lithium Battery (Tools & Home Improvement)
I was happy to see this model come out with a long life Lithium battery. I have about 4 of these in my home and it annoys me to have to change batteries at 4:00am to stop the chirping. Installation is simple, detector is loud and easy to operate. Worst complaint is the ugly design as it looks a bit too industrial for indoor use.
