When To Change The Batteries In Your Smoke Alarms
Don’t wait until you begin to hear that annoying “CHIRP”.
That little repetitive chirp is incredibly annoying (it’s supposed to be). For some reason my dog goes nuts when he hears it. It scares the $%&* outta him (not sure why). Must hurt his ears.

I highly recommend that you use no-leak batteries. And that would be the Energizer Max brand. I dumped Duracell several years ago (they all leak).
I stumbled across an excellent price on Energizer Max AA batteries if you’re interested:
Energizer AA Batteries (48Count)
