  • For a wired + battery backup Smoke Alarm, is there any reason to replace one that appears to be working? I.e just getting to replace a battery in one, and it has a sticker saying "Replace Alarm before 2016" on it. Is that potentially something to do with the radioactive element decaying?

  • Apparently smoke alarms fail over time, nearly all of them after 30 years about a third after 10 years.

    I've got 10 that need replacing next year, 3 hard wired. Massive PITA since I can't seem to find direct replacements so could be into patching holes in ceilings etc.
