So the alarm still works on smoke as well as batteries . Lmdo

:lol: Ask Ballarat Bill about smoke alarm low battery beeps, pulled half the system apart thinking it was lithium related :lol: When we were doing Erich and Lesley's system in the cruiser we were using generator to get the batteries up to fully charged to make sure the over voltage cut out worked, the smoke alarm went off and we searched through the system trying figure what was wrong.... till the light bulb in the head came on, it didn't light (like..?) generator fumes either

in a former life I used to install and service various lifts and stair climbers (lessabled access) we had one instance, where a recently installed stair climber, low battery alarm kept Beeping, tried every thing to fix it, new board, charger, even went so far as disconnecting the beeper, the customer called back the next morning to to complain that the beeper was still beeping, turned out that it was the smoke alarm in the stair well, not continually beeping, just a single beep occasionally with no real pattern, probably spent best part of ten hours labour to find it wasn't our problem.
Life is a trip, to be enjoyed!

You would have thought spell checker would have known what I meant, the thing is getting worse than predictive text on the phone :lol:
