The colder weather always brings a spate of on the verge flat battery alarms in household battery powered fire/smoke alarms.
The sealed ones which are supposed to last for three years or more often exhibit this behaviour. The whole unit has to be replaced as the batteries are not able to be replaced in the sealed units.
These were only put up in October... and it was full blown alarm not the annoying beeping when going flat. Thats why I rang the fire dept. otherwise id have just shut the door and left it to itself

Some of us get a visit from the local firemen when that happens, so it is worth the irritant value!
Cool weather and batteries though is a damned nuisance. My scoot is especially sensitive to that issue.
And thanks popeye, what a good idea. And I have a new pack of Tuffy wipes on the shopping list, I shall dedicate a few to my ceiling and feel deeply satisfied by the restoration of the white expanse, lol..
Your Welcome OHH.
Could barely see the faces this morning and they had their full gear ion.. Unlike the one that came and checked the alarms in October, but his opinion wasnt "Approved of" by the property manager she got a company in.
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
