What if the tester is not permanently mounted? That is, what if the tester
is brought out only occasionally, from my work-bench drawer?
I know batteries have a shelf life, even if they aren't being used. Are CO
alarms similarly limited?

The sensors are not as sensitive after time, due to many factors including

dirt
grease etc...
