    Early last week one of the Carbon Monoxide alarms started to "beep" to warn that the batteries were nearing the end of their day.
    Irritated with the constant warning BEEP I pulled the device from the wall, and tossed the wasted batteries on the table - stupid thing to do :mad:
    By chance one of the smoke alarms also BEEPED this evening which I am thankful for.
    A timely reminder to check the status of your Smoke/CO alarms and replenish batteries of same.
    A few euro's spent of batteries is well spent.
    Keep safe this Winter.

    After posting above and hearing the "beeps" in the house, youngest arrived home with a 12 pack of AA's and a 3 pack of PLU5 ? - 9v square batteries that fit in modern smoke alarms.

    They are wired in here. No batteries.

    Your dead right. You don't want to have your life put in endanger by a defective battery.

    Radon is another one.
