Security Security devices are required to operate reliably over extended periods of time, often in extreme heat and cold. And, because devices operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it is essential that they be as maintenance-free as possible. Ultralife 9-volt lithium batteries last up to 4 times longer than ordinary 9-volt batteries in many security devices. That means in wireless transmitters, for example, battery changes may be necessary only every four years instead of the yearly changes typically required with alkaline batteries. Less maintenance, wide operating temperatures, and up to 10-year shelf life makes the Ultralife 9-volt lithium battery the first choice for security professionals.

But, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that up to 40% of all household smoke alarms aren't working because of missing or dead batteries. Many of these smoke alarms are inoperable because the batteries just aren't replaced when needed. And, many more alarms don't work because batteries were removed to stop "nuisance" alarms. Today, Long-Life Smoke Alarms with a "hush" feature and 10-year batteries are available to virtually eliminate these two major causes of non-working smoke alarms. And it is proven, working smoke alarms save lives! That's why Ultralife encourages you to install Long-Life Smoke Alarms with a "hush" feature and 10-year batteries in your home. And, the legislatures in more and more states agree. Oregon, for example, now requires Long-Life Smoke Alarms with a hush feature in all new 9-volt powered smoke alarms sold. And states like New York, Hew Hampshire, Florida and Pennsylvania are considering similar legislation. Be compliant with existing and future legislation and be safe . . . install Long-Life Smoke Alarms with a "hush" feature and 10-Year Batteries and in your home, today!

Many states are considering the requirement that smoke alarms be sold with batteries that provide a 10-year service life. Standard alkaline-based batteries just cannot provide this length of service. But, Ultralife's lithium battery technology can. Our 9-volt lithium battery has the power to operate UL-listed ionization-type smoke detectors for 10 years or more. We guarantee it with a 10-year warranty! The Ultralife 9-volt lithium battery is the ONLY 10-year lithium battery available in a standard 9-volt configuration. This means many existing smoke alarm designs can be converted to 10-year smoke alarms without major design changes or retooling to accommodate other battery configurations. Ultralife 9-Volt Lithium Batteries The Ultralife 9-volt lithium battery is a consumer-replaceable, high energy density battery that lasts up to 5 times longer than ordinary alkaline 9-volt batteries and 10 times longer than carbon-zinc batteries. Ultralife's lithium chemistry provides a flat discharge curve, wide operating temperature range and 10-year shelf life. UL-recognized and with a patented safety mechanism, the Ultralife 9-volt is environmentally friendly. 10-Year Legislation In June of 1999 Oregon was the first state to adopt legislation requiring that all single-station ionization-type smoke alarms sold in the state be equipped with 10-year batteries. In New York, during the 2001 legislative session, a 10-year smoke alarm bill has been submitted. Additionally, similar bills are expected in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Florida in 2001. Numerous national and international fire safety organizations have expressed their support for improved fire safety programs including legislation for 10-year smoke alarms. These include the International Fire Marshals Association, the U.S. Fire Administration, the National Association of State Fire Marshals, the Centers for Disease Control and the International Fire Chiefs Association. Future Needs and Requirements for Residential Smoke Alarms The U.S. market for smoke alarms has grown significantly over the last twenty years. Growth has been fueled by a combination of: increased public awareness of the value of smoke alarms, state and local governments enacting legislation requiring the installation of smoke alarms, and in some cases an increased number of smoke alarms per residence. Independent studies completed in late 1994 by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) indicate that approximately 92% of households in the United States have one or more smoke alarms, up from approximately 10% in 1975. Although multiple smoke alarms can decrease risk of death due to fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that only 41% of U.S. households have more than one smoke alarm and only 13% have three or more smoke alarms. In 1978, the NFPA recommended that a smoke alarm be installed on every level of a residence. In June of 1992, NFPA released results of a ten-year study (1981-1990) which indicated that the death rate for individuals in a fire decreased by 42% in those areas where a smoke alarm was present. The trend to increasingly stringent smoke alarm requirements is continuing as more governmental entities adopt legislation and as legislation increasingly covers existing as well as new homes and mandates more smoke alarms per residence. In addition, regional building associations, which publish model codes such as the Uniform Building Code, the national Building Code and the One and Two Family Dwelling Code for new and existing homes, have enacted guidelines generally recommending that smoke alarms be installed in or near every sleeping room and/or on every level.
