A battery-operated smoke detector is one which is not connected to your homes power supply.
Yes, the other smoke detectors will still work if one is disconnected. Each smoke detector operates independently and is not interconnected with the others.
Your smoke detector may still be beeping after replacing the battery with a new one due to issues such as a faulty battery connection, dust or debris inside the detector, or a malfunctioning detector that needs to be replaced.
If your smoke detector is still chirping after replacing the battery, it could be due to a few reasons such as a faulty battery, improper installation, or a malfunctioning detector. It is recommended to check the battery connection, ensure it is the correct type of battery, and if the issue persists, consider replacing the smoke detector itself.
You can purchase a smoke detector at any hard wear store in your area, if you can not find one there try looking online or at this website:http://www.smokesign.com/smokealarms.html?gclid=CLf8pIidkaoCFQJrKgodkRGaww
Your chirping smoke detector is likely making noise because its battery is low or needs to be replaced. To stop the chirping noise, you can try replacing the battery with a new one. If the issue persists after replacing the battery, it may be a sign that the smoke detector itself needs to be replaced.
If you mean to interfere with a smoke detector on an airplane, that would be a federal offense. If you cover up a smoke detector in your own house, that would be not be smart to do but is likely not illegal. For rental properties or office buildings, you would probably have to check local building and safety codes to find out if it is illegal, but covering one there would not be a smart thing to do. Many codes in public buildings require working detectors.
smoke...The reason that sometimes we cannot see smoke is because of the very tiny "particulates" that make up the smoke. A good smoke detector mwill sense smoke long before it can be seen. It is particles in air that are very very small that a smoke detector detects.
There are basically two types of smoke detector; one type measures the opacity of the air to literally "see" if there is smoke. The other type tests for ionization that occurs when there is a fire. That type smoke detector uses a small radioactive chip to determine if freshly ionized smoke is present. It's a far more accurate means of determining the presence of fire and associated hazardous smoke. Many smoke detectors use a combination of both detectors. A separate type of detector is the carbon monoxide detector, which senses the presence of harmful carbon monoxide in the air. Most will even indicate the percentage of carbon monoxide. Note that carbon monoxide is typically present when a furnace or other heating device malfunctions.
Fernando J. Dibble was one of the inventors of the first smoke detector

Interlinked smoke detectors are smoke detectors wirelessly connected to one another. This is a good system for larger homes, and can be found at http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Radio-Interlinked-Smoke-Alarms/.
