I wish they didn’t have to deafen you every time you change smoke/CO2 alarm batteries.

I have a carbon monoxide alarm that started beeping.. and the battery is not replaceable. It also can't go in regular waste bins. So.. now it has been beeping away the last 6 months in a drawer in my garage. 🥲

Joe Mirabello BATTLE TRAIN out now! @blankslatejoe.bsky.social

isnt that what many modern EXIT signs are? like radioactive waste that will just... glow for decades? That's what we need in our smoke detectors.

I’ve heard there are ones now which are voice only, I haven’t bought any yet but I want to get them for the kitchen area 🙃

Mine do both. They beep and then a loud voice warning. 🫠

my detectors love to run low on batteries at 4AM and beep until I get up and change them

Ours usually do that around 11PM so not too bad. I just hate the wild loud beep when new batteries get put in.
