Is it really necessary to change the batteries in the smoke detector

Depends on how often you like to get up in the middle of the night to
track down
that annoying once-a-minute "low battery" beep.
Yeah, sure, once a year is usually fine. Heck, spend some dinero on the
fancy-dancy lithium batteries, and then don't mess with them at all until
the
10-year lifetime of the detector is up.
Why is it that they always chirp in the middle of the night...my experience
too....seems like too much of a coincidence....Ross
