  The new ones start beeping after they hit their 10 year expiration date. So not always a low battery beep. You just have to replace them to make it stop.

    Our new Kiddie ones run on 2AAs. Which leak out their electrolyte sometime during the first year and then start corroding the battery terminals.

    And since nobody makes reliable AA batteries anymore the newest ones will probably pop this year too. I’ll be impressed if the detector lasts 6 years.

      Im in Germany and haven’t had a leaking battery (except the ones that come with cheap chinese electronics). And I mostly buy the cheap batteries from the supermarket. I just don’t buy batteries, that weight nothing.

        These have been both the included batteries (branded Kiddie, the detector brand), and Duracell, ostensibly one of the top 2 alkaline battery brands in the US. No Zinc or hollow junk batteries here.
