[quote="Michael"]If you didn't change your batteries in your smoke and CO detectors in the fall, now would be a great time to do it. When you change your clocks, change your batteries! If you did change them in the fall, take a moment to test them as you go around and reset your clocks. Practice your escape plans and have a meeting place! Thanks, Michael[/quote]

Get one designed with rechargeable backup. Kiddie i12080 for about 50 bucks. <br /> <br />Home Depot has them or you can order them. <br /> <br />And if you have a larger home with many of them, you may want to do a few early one year and next year the others to spread the cost. <br /> <br />Not to mention I wouldn't get time to put them all in on one weekend anyway, so splitting the chore up makes sense. <br /> <br />Good tip on previous poster, but I worked for an electrical contractor and they were only good for 7 years now. In fact the newer generation ones start chirping with or without fresh batteries if the unit is reaching end of life.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>anon-8670</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun, Jun 2 2013, 6:17 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Daylight savings time and smoke detectors</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I saw on ask this old house that hard wired detectors have a shelf life.

And as I look around the house a couple were unplugged since then for chirping - so that's really bad. <br /> <br />I neglected to do this in the spring. The house was hard wired for smoke detector so they said when we moved in. I thought the day of needing to change batteries in those disposable smoke detectors was over. But of course I was wrong. <br /> <br />So big question, does anyone know, can you put a rechargeable 9 V lithium for example in the hard wire detectors for the battery backup. I assume it would work, but will they charge? <br /> <br />And if anyone else hasn't reconnected them, changed battery backup, here is your reminder. Or am I the only one with the overflowing honey do list? <br /> <br />Thanks again</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Michael</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Mar 8 2013, 12:59 pm EST<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Daylight savings time and smoke detectors</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">If you didn't change your batteries in your smoke and CO detectors in the fall, now would be a great time to do it.
