[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 555474, member: 13882"] Went to a fire prevention info session 2 weeks ago, and found out something I didn't know. Residential smoke and CO2 detectors have a shelf life from the manufacturer of 10 yrs. The manufacture date is on the detector itself, but once it's up on the wall, good luck seeing it. The fire chief said that when he replaces his detectors, he writes in magic marker in large writing, the month and year they will expire right on the side of the device. I figured as long as you keep changing the batteries twice/year, they last indefinitely . Not so. [/QUOTE]
