carbon monoxide detector 9v image
KW
I live in an apartment complex, and the smoke alarm in the unit keeps chirping, it's the kind that can twist off, but it hangs from the wires. There's no batteries in site for me to remove, so i'm assuming it's hardwired? I've contacted the office here, and they said I would have to wait until Monday evening to get it looked at. I've been listening to it all weekend, i'm going nuts.. I won't be able to stand 1 more night and entire day. Please help!

Very few smoke dectors are not abttery back up operated.
They are necessary for power outages, or if your electricity gets disconnected from a tripped circuit breaker, your elcetrical power lines get cut, etc...
I would go to the manufacturer's web site to see how to replacxe the battery if possible.
Most smoke detectors are hardwired for 2 reasons : For A/C power, and if one goes off it triggers the rest of the detectors to go off.
The hard wiring usually is to a plug that fits in the smoke detector outlet.
All smoke and carbon monoxide detectors I have owned or hooked up use 9v batteries.
It is hard to find fresh ones. Even brand new ones that ibought where to weka, that the smoke detector beeped almost immediately.
I got a Ten Year guarenteed smoke detector battery. It cost about $8, and got it at Menards. It is little ask for the peace of the smoke dectector's constant beeping, and possibly saving you from a deadly fire.
That way they do not need being replaced every year like or twice a year like the fire departments like to say when you change the clock in the spring and the fall for day light savings time.
Plus if they do not last 10 years there replaced for free!

Smoke alarm beeping every six minutes - what can I do?
David
Yesterday evening my smoke alarm started beeping every minute - I then put in a new 9V battery which seemed to do the trick. However, today in the morning the alarm went off, then again peace, and now it's beeping every six minutes. Please, tell me what I should do, this damn thing is directly next to my bedroom! As far as I can tell the battery has to be for backup only (since it's even beeping with the battery out) but it seems to be glued and/or screwed to the ceiling, so I don't know how easy it would be to take it off. Also, what voltage would it use - dangerous to cut the cables if I can find them? Any help much appreciated!!!
Answer
Some smoke detectors are hard-wired into a home's electricity. They may even be wired where if one detects a problem they all go off. Since it is too warm for the furnace to be on the smoke detector should not be reacting to carbon monoxide. You would have a headache, and be tired and listless if there were carbon monoxide.
Some smoke detectors have a reset button that must be pressed after the battery is replaced before the beeping will stop. Below are some links that may provide help, and you can also "search" your question. Different search engines often bring up completely different sites.
