I have 3 Kidde smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, two of them are battery operated, but there is one that is connected to wiring in the ceiling, it keeps repeating "Low battery" and beeps every minute or so...I don't know how to charge it! Please help!!

Answer
Most hardwired smoke alarms use a 9 volt battery backup. If you can't see a battery compartment, try removing the alarm from the wall/ceiling and looking inside.

can u please answer abt carbon monoxide?

would it make a louder noise if there was carbon monoxide in the house?????

Answer
That's the battery warning.

The warning for an actual detection of carbon monoxide would be a loud, constant screech. You won''t mistake the actual alarm for the battery signal ever again.

It being only 3 months old is nothing: placed in a humid location, the alarm will go through batteries faster. They just do. And you don't know how old the battery is, waiting around inside the package in the store. Get a lithium battery to replace it, it'll last longer.
