I’m impressed there was a ladder involved. I usually try to do it on my tippy toes before giving up and grabbing the nearest thing that looks like it might hold my weight. The ladders are all the way out in the garage after all

Given your update: I had the same thing happen. Apparently, buying a 30 pack of 9V batteries ten years ago because "I'll need them eventually" was not a great idea. Because you just end up with 26 batteries that have 2% of their juice left.

I didn't waste any, though. Used all of them up. Just had to change a lot of smoke alarm batteries for a while.

Beeep

One of mine just started beeping and I can't help but think it is your fault for bringing them up.

Now to figure out which one it is, because high pitched beeping every three minutes makes that sooooo easy.

Do they even have batteries anymore, I thought you were supposed to replace them after 10 years and they all have built in batteries now

Shit, I just did one of mine a couple weeks ago, and I told myself I was gonna get a package of 9 volts on the next grocery run and go through the house and do the rest of them. And I definitely did not follow through on that. So thanks for the reminder.

Wired ones are great. They even talk to each other on different floors.

Good on ya, a friend of mine was recently badly burned in their bed because their smoke alarm didn't go off.

Sick, dude!

I hope you tested the battery after installing it, wouldn’t want to make this post too risqué.

Replaced it with what? Folgers crystals?
