Found this when I opened up Kidde and SMC smoke/CO detectors. There is a tiny vent hole at the top and there is a pad of moisture/odour absorbent gel taped over the hole.
I am guessing capacitor. If I momenatrily short the two ends together and then monitor the voltage, it slowly starts climbing up from 0V at the rate of approx 10mv/5 secs. I think this has more to do with how electrolytic capacitore work, and not so much an indication that this is a battery.
