Today, I changed the batteries in all my smoke detectors. I noticed that the battery light in one was blinking. Instead of only replacing the one with a new normal 9v battery, I ordered a pack of 10-year lithium 9v batteries and replaced them all. Now I don’t have to worry about changing them for a handful of years.
Edit - Funnily enough, dinner put them to the test. I was going to test them tomorrow when the kiddo is at daycare.
I like to change mine on Spring Forward day. Don’t forget to check the expiration date of the detectors themselves. The sensor degrades over time.
What are you going to do next year?
Push the test button, of course. I find it helps make sure everyone wakes up on time.
I mean, Daylight Wasting Time is probably going to finally end this year, so what are you going to do next year?
