When I put a new battery in my "Coleman Sheltra" smoke detector. The alarm doesn't stop sounding. What should I do?

Chances are your smoke detector is faulty and needs to be replaced . They are very sensitive and break very easy. But most likely your detector got damaged when you changed the batterys.

Why is it important not to used Nicads in smoke detectors?
The battery in a smoke detector should last a year (though the detector should be checked monthly). The detector works on "trickle" current that is always there. NiCads will lose more current than an alkaline battery from just sitting around - much more. Even a fully charged NiCad will usually not last a year in a smoke detector. Alkaline batteries will easily.
