Nine years later and you saved the day, and stopped the constant chirping. As a single single woman, and learning how to be my own handy man, your video was informative and clear on how to replace the battery.

Not sure why this video has so many dislikes. He got right to the point. I had 2 smoke detectors going off with loud incessant beeping. I went out and got some 9 volt batteries and installed them (finally the correct way lol). Now no more beeping and good sound sleeping. Thank you!!!

He didn't say you NEED to unscrew it from the base, and he didn't help understand which way the battery goes. I can't see the positive and negative indentations in mine, and I tried putting the battery in every which way the cows come home but the door still would not close. It got dislikes because more specific instructions are needed.

MARTY YOU'RE AN ANGEL. I was rudely awoken by my Smoke Detector going off like crazy thinking my house was on fire. After a visit from the Fire Department after calling the non-emergency number they let me know I just needed to install a new battery for some reason it never chirped and instead went straight to going off as if smoke was detected. I am only in my 20's and split rent with my Dad he's always handled that sort of thing though as he's currently on vacation I was lost. THIS VIDEO though taught me all I needed to know even though it was a slightly different model I got the general idea! THANK YOU MARTY!

Thank you, gonna catch up on some lack of sleep ;~;

@LibertyHomesSandy
@LibertyHomesSandy 4 года назад
Without inspecting the smoke detector, it's hard to diagnose this, but here are a few suggestions. If your smoke detector is hardwired with a battery back-up, contact an electrician to look at the wiring and make sure there is nothing wrong with the wiring. You can also double check and make sure there is nothing stopping the battery from making complete contact with the terminals (for example the pull tab still being in the alarm or any other obstruction). Verify the battery door is completely and firmly closed. You can also try resetting the smoke detector by holding the test/reset button for 15-20 seconds to see if that clears whatever error is occurring.

I don't have that convenient battery compartment that swings out. I have to open a flat plastic "door" or flap on the ceiling side of the detector. I pry it open with a tweezers from the outer perimeter and the flap hinges near the center of the detector. The (bizarre) problem is that, at the hinge, there is a circular piece of plastic that prevents the door from lifting open! Therefore, it is impossible to get to the compartment to remove or to insert a battery. Mine is chirping right now and it feels like I am going to break off the back door/flap piece if I open it far enough to actually remove the dead battery! Any suggestions are appreciated.
@LibertyHomesSandy
@LibertyHomesSandy 6 лет назад
It’s difficult not being able to see the actual type of smoke detector you are dealing with. Is it possible to twist the whole smoke and remove it from the ceiling mount then unplug the wire behind it if it has one and take it down to hopefully work with changing the battery easier?
@LibertyHomesSandy

Each company's compartments and units vary slightly. We suggest going on to whatever brand smoke detector's website, as they should also have some videos or "how to's" specific to their product. Wish we could be of more help!

I don't have a Liberty home, but I have a wired smoke detector with battery backup. It's making 3 beeps, then pause, then 3 beeps, then pause, over and over. Then it stops for about 5 or 10 minutes, then starts up again. I'm going to try changing the 9 volt batteries. DO I NEED TO TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE CHANGING BATTERY??
@LibertyHomesSandy
@LibertyHomesSandy 2 года назад
Changing the battery is a great place to start with the issue you have described. Sometimes when the battery starts getting low, but isn't quite spent, it will beep on and off. On your question, we have never had an issue with leaving the power on when changing the battery -- the battery chamber is separate/away from the electrical cables -- but if you feel more comfortable turning it off first, you can do so.

Hey Marty, Do all brands of smoke detectors give battery access the same way (turning counter clockwise)? One of mine started chirping tonight but then stopped.

Hey David! Most smoke detectors twist open, but there are some that have a plastic lock that need to be opened with a screwdriver and others that pop open. If yours doesn't twist, the owner's manual can tell you how to open (if you don't have a paper copy still, Google the model information and you should be able to find it). If it's been a while since you've changed the batteries, it may be worth doing so now before that beep returns (inevitably in the middle of the night). The initial beeps you heard may be an indication the battery is starting to get low.

David hi there, tonight I saw on a video what looks like a better design than what I think you & me got! It had like a little battery door/hatch on the outside of the case, you jus open that! I think it might have been a First Alert brand?🤔 But, I saw a ladies comment she has 4 of Kidde brand I think & all were causing her a problem. I'm sorry I can't remember what she put was the problem. Basically I typed in yt search bar at top: stop a smoke alarm from chirping. And that's how I come across it. Are you sorted now!?

Mine has chirped for 2 months; I have opened the door and changed the batteries five times but it still chirped. It needs to be unscrewed from the base to reset! ✔️

For mine there was a little clip on the side that activated the battery. I couldn't just twist and pull, turns out it's a non-replaceable battery.

I took the battery out because I dont have a battery to replace it and it's still chirping. Do I need to put a new battery in to get it to stop?
@LibertyHomesSandy
@LibertyHomesSandy 5 лет назад
Yes, as a safety feature, those are created to chirp until a new battery is installed so it will always work, even in a power outage.

Some people will have to go through the arduous journey of finding out their fire alarms are hard wired, connected to other units, replacing those units, and resetting the circuit breaker. :D
