The Kidde i9010 features a 10-year sealed lithium battery, eliminating battery replacements for the life of the alarm. The ionization sensor detects fast-flaming fires, and an alarm memory indicator helps identify which unit triggered in a multi-alarm home. Activation is automatic upon mounting with no pull-tabs or switches required. The alarm chirps at end of 10-year life to signal replacement time. This model has been replaced by the Kidde 20SD10.
Does the i9010 ever need a battery change?
No. The i9010 has a factory-sealed 10-year lithium battery that cannot be replaced. At the end of 10 years, the alarm will chirp to notify you it is time to replace the entire unit.
What does the alarm memory feature do on the i9010?
The alarm memory indicator helps you identify which alarm in a home triggered an alert. After an alarm event, you can check the LED status to identify the initiating unit.
How is the i9010 installed?
Installation is automatic: simply mount the alarm to the bracket and it activates on its own — no pull-tabs or switches needed. It is designed for ceiling or wall mounting in any room.
What type of fires does the i9010 detect?
The i9010 uses ionization sensing, which is well suited for detecting fast-flaming fires with invisible smoke particles. For comprehensive whole-home protection, pair it with a photoelectric alarm or use a dual-sensor model.
What replaced the i9010?
The i9010 has been replaced by the Kidde 20SD10, part of the DETECT line with enhanced photoelectric sensing, a 10-year sealed battery, and improved nuisance alarm reduction.
