	To replace the battery, slide the unit off the ceiling and remove the old battery. It’ll probably keep chirping for another 30-60mins until the capacitor has drained (or press the test button to accelerate this if you can cope for a few mins of loud beeping). Once you have a new battery just connect it all up again. It is recommended to turn off the mains but do it very quickly cause sometimes that can tip other low batteries over the edge and you end up replacing all the batteries. The physical detectors are good for about 10 years - check the expiry label on the side. Beyond that date the radioactive source will have mostly depleted and thus unable to detect smoke.<ref>Park Hill Residents’ Facebook Group conversation 4/12/2021 10:37 (accessible only to registered group members) https://www.facebook.com/groups/parkhillresidentsgroup/posts/5025101627588369/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZWY0NuO3_URxTC6AUodeiECpn4uV4a32FEQXM_Ll_UCe3F_Z_mJHCDaQEpOg6gDt4EZjj_HvqyX5ITfXtb2eWev7DBgKuJtk3-ILBNqHj9D8myPtLexafCCIZjipaj7NLQ&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R</ref>		To replace the battery, slide the unit off the ceiling and remove the old battery.
