It seems you've answered your own question there. Just keep changing the batteries and the detector will still be working long after your house has fallen down around you lol.

they recommend a change of battery once a year but being so cheap and the importance of them wouldn't it be better to change the whole thing once a year life is worth that few pounds or dollars isn't it Dave
