modern smoke detectors are such spectacularly worthless pieces of shit come home to one beeping. i'm like, oh, this shit, so you can make this whole rig for wiring it into the house so it can beep at me and i can't sleep but you can't spring for $2.12 to make it self-recharging

A combination of code, and floor plan means I have 5 smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide detector about 12 ft apart. The echoing and my poor hearing mean I never know which battery it is.

Is it at its 10 year expiration? I had a whole house full of them do that last year and it turned out they’re built to demand to be replaced at their expiration. I just googled it to be sure my memory isn’t messing with me; did not find confirmation that this is a common thing

no idea, it was literally saying "low battery" though so i imagine if it was mad about something else it'd say so

Mine is sitting in the hallway, same EXACT timeline of events except mine is a 9v and the new one didn't do shit. Oh and everytime it beeps, I think my dog might have a heart attack. It's been there for months at this point.
