Many newer CO detectors and smoke detectors now come with an integral battery that cannot be replaced. This is because fire inspectors were discovering massive non-compliance with replacing CO detectors at 7 years and smoke detectors at 10 years. Since people falsely assumed that simply replacing the batteries was "good enough", not being able to replace them any more forces them to buy new ones instead.
