I replaced all my batteries and they're STILL chirping. Did some checking and it may be time to buy new ones. House is 13 years old and they're the originals. Screw central wired smoke alarms.

Once a detector is bad, they chirp forever to let you know it's time to replace them.
Its awful nice of them to do that.
I've been reading the tragic story about the young mother that was accidentally shot in a Walmart by her 2 year old that reached into her purse and found her handgun. Apparently the child never actually pulled it out of the purse but somehow pulled the trigger and it went off and shot the mother. The media is spinning the story that guns are so dangerous that a 2 year old can shoot someone just by touching it.
Why in the hell was it loose in her purse? Why wasn't it in a holster that covers the trigger? Carrying a gun loose in a backpack or purse is just asking for an accidental discharge.
My condolences to the family, but WTF?!
What is the point of being hooked up to power if they still drain a 9V every year? At $3 a pop, that's $24/yr just for batteries for a device that is ALREADY POWERED. [facepalm]
