We have one -- the normal type that have a 9v battery and fit to the ceiling. It started beeping intermittently (and loudly) so investigated. "Old" battery showed 9.4 v dropping to 8.9 v when loaded with 750K (giving approx 20 mA load - probably much too high). Replaced battery with new Duracell which gave 9.7 v dropping to 9.6 on load. No beeps now. I wouldn't have thought the inbuilt low battery alarm was so sensitive. Any comments?
