Additionally, the Fire Department encourages residents to check the batteries in their smoke detectors and, if needed, replace them with longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries that should last for the life of the smoke detector and do not need to be replaced every six months. The US Fire Administration recommends that smoke detectors be replaced every 10 years.
