Rechargeable batteries, why do they seem to have an aversion to smoke detectors?I have ten smoke detectors fitted, each stand-alone i.e. not connected to the mains or each other.Thinking I'd save money and the environment, I bought a rechargeable battery every time one of the ordinary non-rechargeable batteries ran down as replacements.All went well until the rechargeable ones started to run down, causing alarms to beep as a low battery warning, this after about 9 months in the detector.I recharged the batteries according to the instructions and measured 9.5 volts across the terminals. Replaced the batteries, within 48 to 72 hours off they went again. I can still measure the 9.5 across them.This has now happened 3 times, the rechargeable batteries, if tried in different appliances, work fine.At wits end, any clever people out there with any ideas??
Yes, my dog chewed on the wires on an electric blanket and set our place on fire everything inside was destroyed, but the BUILDING was fine. They tore it down less than a year later because they said the building was a FIRE HAZARD. It's now a parking lot.
Never had one, almost did a few times but touching wood we have been lucky not to ever have one!
I had a grease fire about two years ago. I called 911 and they told me how to put it out. The firefighters came soon after, the fire was out and everything was just fine.
What is her name? That would help.
