I’ve got 5 combination smoke alarms in my crackerjack house. Some are 120v and some are battery operated only. In my case they take 9V battery that can easily check with multimeter. So, every year on my birthday I get ladder outs and check the ones that take batteries. If voltage is low in battery I replace it. My house was rental at one time, maybe that explained why it has 5?
