How old is too old for a smoke detector ?

Good advice. Never "gift" used detectors! Only re-use the batteries for
something else besides life-safety devices. Always use brand-new
batteries when replacing them, and check the detectors twice a year -
minimum. A good way to remember to check them is to do it when changing
the clocks twice a year.

But he says he can stop anytime.
