My 6year CO alarm has been going off and it requires a special battery for replacement.I tried duracell but it still did not quiet it down. Calls for a Ultra alkaline battery, but have not seen any. ...
The smoke detector in our RV didn't work when we got it. I picked up a replacement at a local home center (like Home Desperate, but locally owned, and with better staff). The new battery-only detectors seem to come with lithium batteries that last a decade, after which you recycle the entire detector. A staff member there said that this change was in response to research showing people didn't change their smoke detector batteries.
