I think it was a First Alert but I don't remember the model number. It used a 9 volt battery, had the apparatus that you screw onto the wall and then place the smoke alert onto it with a twisting motion and click it into place, just like so many of them. It was at least 12 or more years ago that I bought it so I'm sure they've fixed that model or changed it by now, especially if fire departments complained of false alarms. And it did work well for several years before it misfired and the other one - the same model - never did before I finally disposed of it. I replaced it with a Kidde.
