I wonder if that's a good idea, to have AC power
smoke detectors. We do power cuts now and again.

OTOH, less often than forgetting to test the unit
every month, and change battery twice a year.

Can't hardly win.

That's why they sell AC units with battery back-up.

That's why they sell units a 10 year lithium battery. Sure, they should
still be tested, but you don't have to change the battery. Who changes
the battery twice a year, anyway?

Most modern detectors will warn you when the battery is dying - but
not yet dead. Most modern detectors make it very hard to remount the
unit if you take the batteries out.

For what the units provide, I think they have made them pretty easy to
maintain.

A few years ago I replaced all my detectors. Bought the unit where
there is no need to remove it from the ceiling for a battery change.
They have an access (door) to replace the battery. Some are
inter-connected to AC power and some are not.

Why do batteries die at 2:00 AM and start chirping ?

At the house, I had a battery go bad in a UPS at 3:00am. The low battery alarm is louder for the UPS than it is for a smoke detector. à°*_à°*

At home, there are at least a dozen UPS units spread between 4 computers in two offices, network and entertainment gear. When the power fails, the UPS alarms sound like a flock of birds trapped in the house. Š™.˜‰

Who's boasting? Those things frazzle my nerves when they go off, not to

developed a smoke detector which ONLY goes off when there is *DENSE*
SMOKE.

Because by then it may well be too late to save your sorry ass. Smoke
kills more people than flames - you want to know there is trouble
before you would normally find out - which is too often too late.

Shh, Darwin is staking a claim.

IDK I always surmised because the house got cooler and the battery voltage
dropped, this makes as much sense as less dense air or EMF formations. As a
Fire chief it was always attached to the dispatch of a story of it's been
beeping for X hours and we thought you should check it out. Also an item to
note when arriving at scene, carried batteries.

Everybody back to the barn...
