Smoke detector will not shut up

[Reynolds]

We have hardwired smoke detectors in our apartment. Is there still a battery in them? This one will not shut up, it does a single beep every few minutes and is driving me crazy.

[Lady Resin]

When the battery is dead it beeps in ours.

[sailor]

yeah, replace the battery. if you don't have one, pull it and buy one when you get up.

[Farmer Dave]

Why did you have to wake us up? Take the cover off and look already.

Even a hardwired one?

What's the sense of having it hardwired if a battery needs to be replaced?

I took it off the wall and put it in the freezer.

If I have to suffer, I'm taking you fuckers down with me.

what do you mean hard-wired? like your alarm would automatically go to a monitoring station?

Like its wired directly to the wall, it its own wires

yeah, makes no sense. the wires would only make sense for power or if it was being monitored remotely. what do they do???

well theres a positive and a negative, so i was wondering how the mystical battery could be dead.

[Farmer Dave]

Battery power in case the other power is lost to the fire in another part of the building before your alarm is triggered.

The detector draws a very small trickle of power from the battery to ensure its back up system is operational. Most fire experts suggest changing the battery twice a year, wired or not.

the battery is a back up in case the power goes out or get cut during a fire.

If a fire starts while the power goes, out just let me die.

I could have sworn this thread said it had a new reply....

[cougarjake13]

What's the exact interval between beeps?
On Loveline... Adam would often hear people's dead battery beeps in the backround during a call. Adam & Drew would pace it at exactly every 35 seconds. Great radio.
