Do Kidde smoke alarms work during a power outage?

Asked 7 months ago
Yes, Kidde smoke alarms are designed to function even during a power outage. Kidde smoke alarms utilize batteries as a backup power source, ensuring uninterrupted operation in case of power failure. This feature is crucial as smoke alarms play a vital role in providing early warning of fires. The batteries in Kidde smoke alarms are specifically designed to provide long-lasting power and can typically last for many years without replacement. In the event of a power outage, the Kidde smoke alarms will continue to detect smoke particles and emit loud, audible alerts to alert inhabitants of potential fire hazards, providing a reliable solution for fire safety even when electrical power is unavailable.
