Default Don't throw away the batteries

I'm a week late on this message but here goes anyhow.
We all hear the news that says "When you change the clocks, change the
batteries in your smoke detectors".


Never heard that.

I bought a smoke detector about 5 years ago.
About 3 weeks ago it starting beeping and saying the batteries
were low. That is when I replaced the 3 AA batteries.

If I started pulling them out every 6 months, I'd be accumulating
a bunch of partially discharged batteries.
