I test my detectors (that's what the little test button is for) the
first of every month. Then I replace all of the batteries when one of
them fails.

When one fails, does that mean you have batteries going dead, and no

Jumping to (wrong) conclusions again. He said "when one
(meaning a battery) fails." He didn't say when the unit
fails the test.
