Home Idea: Change Those Batteries : Ideas for Women Home and ...


One thing most people forget to do is change the batteries in their smoke detectors and other safety devices. So let me take the tie to remind you that if you haven?t already done so it is past time to not change the batteries but to also test everything and make sure it is all still in proper working order.

The U.S. Consumer Product Commission recommends that you check your smoke detector batteries once a month. The alarms will have a test button that, when pushed, will cause the alarm to sound. If it does not, replace the battery immediately. Your should install new batteries once a year. Pick a date, like a birthday or the change to daylight-savings time, and make sure all of the smoke detector batteries in the home are replaced.

If a smoke detector battery does run down or goes dead in a hard-wired system, the alarm will emit a regular chirping noise. This noise will drive you nuts until you replace? the battery.Some newer smoke alarms have 10-year lithium batteries. These alarms should be tested regularly and replaced if they do not respond. Replace the entire alarm after 10 years.
