Yes, if the smoke alarm has replaceable batteries, they should be replaced at least once per year.While you're at it, you should also test the smoke alarm BEFORE you remove the old batteries, to see if it was already dead, and perhaps test the old batteries before you dispose of them. That way you might determine whether your old batteries were already putting you at risk and, if so, perhaps start changing or testing them more frequently.
