PLEASE NOTE: The Detector must have a sealed long life battery. You

seems a bit odd.

It's because the world is full of morons who remove the batteries from
safety equipment in order to use them in other stuff. Personally, I
think
the world is better off without such people, but the PTB appear to
differ.
But as a result, we all suffer, because the sensible people have to
expend more time, effort and money to prevent the morons from killing
themselves.


The issue is probably more about protecting innocent bystanders.
You can bet that the idiot who removed the battery will not be at home
when
the CO leak happens, and other occupants will be the ones to suffer.

Good point, although I don't actually have much of a problem with
eliminating
the moron's entire family. But I suppose there might be visitors in
the house (social workers, policemen, neighbours, drug dealers, etc.)


Also, skipping from another thread, it protects the devices from the
terminally confused who want a PP3 for their old transistor radio they've
had since the '60s.

Err, that was my point.


Well I thought you were advocating the elimination of the genetically stupid
rather than providing means to remove the aged and infirm.
