spare 9V batteries, have to buy a few today.



Considering how expensive 9V batteries are and that it's a PIA to change
them every year, consider replacing your existing smoke alarm with one
of those Kidde 10 year devices.

i bought one of those smoke detectors with forever battery. the battery failed after just a few months.

to the trash it went

First, smoke detectors should be recycled, not put in the trash.

Second, you probably could have had it replaced under warranty. Your situation is not common
and odds are you would have received a longer lasting unit.
