Most smoke detectors have a single 9 volt battery in them. It is the square type that snaps onto the circuit. You should replace them twice a year, one recommended timing is to swap them out when you change your clocks.

How many kwh would a smoke detector use that is 120 VAC 60 HZ 80mA?
kW = I x E x pf/1000. Take this figure and multiply it by the amount of hours that the smoke detector is in operation. pf = power factor.

How can you keep the smoke detector from beeping temporarily?
Push the button, or take the battery's out (not recommended) In many modern smoke alarms it is impossible to remove the battery, but there may be an on/off switch that can be actuated with a tool. If the alarm is beeping because the battery is dead, replace the battery or the entire alarm unit, which should be done every ten years anyway. Removing a battery in any smoke detector could be criminal "tampering", if anyone gets hurt because of it.
Making Sure Smoke Detectors Work?
One of the most important safety measures homeowners can take is to install a functional smoke detector. These simple devices can truly save lives, if they are installed and used properly. The biggest problem with battery powered smoke detectors is that they stop working after the battery life expires. Therefore, it is essential that homeowners regularly check if the battery is working and replace it if necessary. Usually, there should be an LED indicator and sound alert when the battery is running low. By contrast, a hardwired smoke detector works most of the time but it is vulnerable to power outages and can't offer protection in vulnerable situations when the lights go out.

How do you get a smoke detector to stop chirping?
For a battery-operated smoke detector, you simply remove the battery. For a mains-powered smoke detector, the only way to disable it is to disable the mains power running to it.However, both of these methods are not recommended, as people tend to forget to turn them back on. Instead, open a window and run a fan to evacuate the smoke.

Why the smoke alarm beeps when you take a shower?
Some smoke detectors use ionizing radiation to sense smoke and it can become confused with water vapor (steam), which is why ionizing smoke detectors are not allowed anywhere near sources of steam. Try replacing it with a photo-electric detector and make sure it's outside of the immediate area of the shower (i.e., in the bedroom or out in the hallway).
