AC powered smoke alarms with battery backup will chirp indefinitely assuming AC power is present; if battery power is low, or battery is removed; until a fresh battery is installed. Approved replacement batteries are listed on the back of each smoke alarm and in the user's manual.
Certain model smoke alarms with a silence button (designed to silence the alarm during a nuisance alarm) may chirp to indicate the smoke alarm is in the silence mode. The chirp will stop after approximately 8 minutes and the smoke alarm will return to its normal operation.
If battery backup alarms and non-battery backup alarms and accessories are mixed in an interconnect system, all devices without battery backup WILL NOT operate during an AC power failure.
CAUTION: USI alarms and accessories should only be interconnected with other USI alarms and accessories. Connecting devices from another manufacturer to USI devices may result in nuisance alarms, failure to alarm, or damage to one or all of the devices in the interconnect system. All interconnected USI alarms should be powered by the same fuse or circuit breaker. Smoke alarms shall not receive their power from a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Improper connection will result in damage to the alarm, failure to operate, or a shock hazard.

USI Battery-Operated Universal Smoke Sensing Smoke Alarm Reviews
So far they're working great.
I previously bought a 10-year battery warranty smoke detector from another company. It was constantly go off and was very difficult to stop. So I returned the smoke detector and bought this smoke detector and so far it's working with no problems
Product works as advertised and was easy to install
I did a lot of research prior to purchasing 7 of these units for my home. They are the best value dual sensor units on the market and perform really well. I opted for these over the 10yr life battery version as I don't necessrily believe the battery will actually last 10yrs and I will end up having to replace the whole unit. These units come with a Duracell 9V included. I did get one bad unit out of the seven I ordered, the customer service took care of it for me and sent a new one and return label right away.
Received the MDS300B and immediately tested it. It is a major improvement over the older, false alarm sensors that were installed in our home during construction. Very pleased with this sensor and will soon be ordering a second.
Very good smoke and fire alarm.
Very good.
