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.
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.
