Smoke alarm goes off when it's cold (?)

Suspect marginally dead batteries. Try putting in a new alkaline
battery (presumably 9V) and see what happens.

Hi all, I like to heat only the rooms we spend time in during the
winter with space heaters. Now that it's getting colder I have the
problem of the household smoke detecters going off at night. It only
happens in the colder months. Anyone know why this is?
Thanks,
Rog
Put a 9V lithium battery in;they are much less affected by cold temps,and
their life is WAY longer.For something important like a smoke detector,the
extra cost would be trivial.
