Good morning.
I've been up for awhile now. Turns out that i can just barely reach the smoke alarm in my bedroom if i drag my dresser over underneath it.
Even though all the batteries in the alarms were changed just a few months ago, one started chirping at 3am. argh. I kept trying to sleep through it, but it was really bothering the ginger dog. I tried changing rooms, no joy. At 4 am, i finally put the dogs out, moved the dresser and changed the battery (and swept all the fur that had accumulated behind it). By the time i'd finished, it had started raining. poor wet beasties.
i tested the 9V alkaline battery that i took out of the chirping alarm. It was reading 9.6V ? The other battery in the replacement 2-pack metered at 9.1V.
