(Manufacturer's recommendation) I was changing the ones at my mother's house yesterday, and thought that I should post this here as a reminder. __________________ John from Baltimore One Day at a Time To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Also, they now make smokes with sealed 10 year batteries, so now you dont have to remember to change them twice a year.
