Electrician here: your smokie is wired in so that it will work using mains power. The battery is in case of a power outage. It only beeps signaling that it’s low so you’ll know to change it so it will function in an outage. The typical batteries they come with are somewhat hit or miss. Change it once with a good Duracell and you’ll never hear from it again.

I watch them all Sean, and I just thought that this was another great demonstration! I'm playing with this progression and scale notes now! Thanks for your continued help!!

If the power is out, the battery is used to power said detector. YESSSSSSSSS! Aside from all that silliness, I love the videos man! Many thanks.

It’s a battery backup for power outages. Redundant power supply

Exactly. Electrical fires can cause power loss, which is another reason why smoke detectors have a battery backup.

It's also a dry cell battery

Amazing the power of small... As always, thank you. Like the small beep that becomes overpowering, you can numb to it, live with it or change the battery!

I think they don't hard wire the smoke detectors like you want because if lightning (or something else) causes the power to go out AND lights the house on fire the alarm will still sound. Just guessing, but it begged for an answer! Bothered me a bit so I had to reply after deep thought

You don't happen to save those loops do you? I like want you made

the battery is there because fires happen when the power is out.

you dont want to completely have hard wired, cuz if there is a fire the wires could be burned and then it becomes useless and wont make the sound to tell you of a problem..

With battery backup, smoke detectors will continue to work if there is a power failure. So…. that.

So the batteries should last the 5-10 years they are rated for
@Jazman342 Жыл бұрын
@@KingCraby Yep. Just got a new one fitted with lithium back up battery and according to the sparky the smoke detector should be replaced then anyway (10 years) so it's now a one stop set it and forget it deal. BTW what he did say is that he "needs reminding" so just give him a nudge every now and then.

If your electrical system shorts and is the cause of the fire, the hard wired detectors will also fail.
