[@jennifergaver1239]

This video got me back to sleep. I was up between 1 am and 2:30 am with the low battery chirp and feeling incredibly helpless. You saved me! My "manual" said nothing about discharging the detector by holding the button down after the batteries were removed. It also did not explain the weird red latches (what should I call them?) that had to be held down to install the batteries, or what to do with the weird yellow tape (please!). I followed the directions with little hope that it would actually work, but to my amazement it did. I am a 65 year old woman living alone. You and the rest of the commenters here (I read all of them, they were super helpful) are my heroes! Long live KZbin.

[@mildredpierce4506]

I would just push the button and the chirping will stop for about 12 hours.

[@Regi254.]

4 am and the alarm has been beeping for 2 hours. We have done everything even turned off the electricity. Still beeping. Now we are removing it as you said. Thank you.

[@CBee-wq6kx]

I found these videos to be informative but I still couldn't get the beeping to stop even in a new device with new batteries. I drained the charge and restored the power but it still chirped. I finally decided to look at the other smoke alarms in the system. I found an old battery which I removed and replaced. I then did a re-cycle of the problem device and when I restored power and inserted the battery it was quiet. Its been quiet for 10 hours. I have concluded that the failing battery in the other unit was affecting the completely new smoke detector. I really hope this is helpful.

[@mmscheidt]

Thanks for posting this, Michael. I just reset the faulty alarm that was waking us between 1 and 2 AM regularly. I took the time to do the rest of the house's alarms as well. Hopefully we've heard the last of the chirping. While I had them down, I also blew some dust out of each one with compressed air, as I had read about elsewhere. Seemed like a good idea. Much appreciated!

The Reset after disconnect is a great idea. In our case we installed a brand new 9 Volt battery. The chirping began several hours later. I yanked the new battery out and ran a battery test which started at 6 volts and quickly dropped to 0 volts in seconds. A brand new Duracell battery was the issue. Bad quality control by Duracell perhaps.

[@9laral9]

Thanks Michael, this is just what I needed to know. I climbed a shaky 16 foot ladder to change the battery on a wired smoke detector, and as soon as I got down, it started beeping again. I never had to reset it before inserting a new battery but I replaced the battery again with a new one and did the reset this time and it is now not beeping any more. I tested both batteries with a cheap Radio Shack analog tester and both were in the GOOD zone. But I measured the voltage of both, as you suggest in the video, and I found the first battery to be at only 7.6V. The second one was at 9.33V, so I don't know if the problem was the lower voltage of the first battery, alone, or the fact that I did not reset the unit, or both. Probably the low voltage alone, but it is better to do the simple reset anyway, just in case.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Thanks for your clear demo. It's exactly our unit. Followed exactly your instructions, including hearing the residual electric charge after the battery had been taken off. The chirping stopped after installing ne battery. However, the unit flashes red light after every 30 second interval. I followed exactly how you did it. Any response is appreciated.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Jon Vine Thanks for watching & we are happy the video helped. So glad to help. Depending on what year your Detector was manufactured will depend on the Red light.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thanks for the quick response. I have observed the other detector units elsewhere in the house and you are correct-- they do blink red at 20++~30 sec interval and maintain green in between. Thanks again!

If my battery on smoke detector is in an outside compartment, like the one you worked on, would it be dangerous to NOT remove cover and only change the battery? I have six alarms exactly like the one you had and 10ft ceilings. I am doing this by myself. Thanks for your help. I promise I will do what you tell me to do.

[@jsprankel4712]

Really good video. Thank you! All that chirp means is that the battery needs replaced. If everyone would remember to test their alarms monthly, replace the batteries annually, and replace the entire unit every 10 years much of their problems would be avoided. I just replaced mine a month ago and the original alarms were 16 years old. I am the Fire Education Specialist for our county!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders According to the US Fire Administration website, we have lost 1,029 people in the United States due to fire in their homes so far this year. In each and every case there were smoke alarms in the home that were not working. Test your alarms monthly, replace the batteries annually, and replace the alarm when they are over 10 years old!

[@natalieframpton3217]

Thank you for the info on the electrical portion of unplugging the smoke detector from the ceiling in order to drain the battery of any stored power which will cause it to do a reset. I help my mother take care of her home and I was confused, earlier today, after I replaced the battery in the smoke detector, it began to chirp again. I did a little research and came across ur video. This must be why that is happeneing... It is too late to for me to try this out but I plan to try this procedure tomorrow morning. I hope this is the solution?!? 🙂 I'll report back...🤔🤞

[@tamivanderkamp1966]

Thank you for this well explained video! There’s nothing worse than a heart-stopping alarm at 3:30am, getting a ladder to change the battery, AND IT GOES OFF AGAIN!! Ours are interconnected, so the whole house was going off over a 2 hour period... UNTIL I finally pinpointed the breaker, which finally shut them off!!! My gosh! QUESTION: Should I leave breaker off while I’m uninstalling/replacing/reinstalling all alarms? Thank you!!!!

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]
