Having batteries in the house is a very useful thing; as long as you keep them away from the kids that are! Batteries help us out in a number of different ways, from making sure our kitchen clock tells the right time, to be able to use the TV remote. These may be quite simple and commonplace ways to use batteries in the home, but there are some more important devices that require batteries that you should be considering.

Smoke alarm

Making sure you have spare batteries for your TV remote is helpful, but what about your smoke alarm? It can’t be stressed enough how important it is to have a smoke alarm in your home. Protecting your family from the risk of fire, you should ensure that your smoke alarm has a working battery in it at all times. Smoke alarm batteries can last up to 10 years if you buy 9V batteries that offer long life. More than likely you will require a lithium battery, as they will last much longer than alkaline or even carbon-zinc. The Ultralife 10 Year Smoke Alarm Battery has been the leader in its market for many years and is designed specifically for use in smoke alarms.

  Make sure you test your battery at least once a month and have a spare battery in the house so you can replace it straight away if needs be.

Baby monitor

Keeping an eye on your kids when they’re young can take up a lot of your time, and it can be stressful if you have a newborn! Baby monitors make life that little bit easier, giving you time to yourself while keeping watch. New models have a built-in camera as well as microphone, putting your mind at rest when it comes to bedtime. Batteries are an important element in making sure your baby monitor is working effectively. After all, baby monitors can’t provide that well-needed reassurance if the batteries are dead! Stock up on replacement rechargeable baby monitor batteries to make sure you never spend a night away from your small children.

Wireless alarms

Wireless alarms are becoming a more popular way of protecting our homes from possible intruders. Perfect for use on the exterior and interior of your house, wireless alarms are a convenient and subtle way to keep your eye on everything and deter any burglars. However, due to the nature of being wireless, they will require batteries to power them and keep them going! At BuyaBattery we stock specialist batteries for wireless alarms, including hard-to-find varieties. You’ll find quality batteries for PIR detectors and both door and window contacts, amongst other security, uses.
