It is 3:03 am and I was sweating and about to cry because I have guests staying. I couldn’t get battery back in or remember how to put it back in. I wanted to smash it. You saved me. Thank you for being quick and getting to the point.

@@Housebaronsthat’s why I set a schedule to check the batteries with my multimeter every 4 months and replace when it drops below 9V. Technically they can operate down to 7V but batteries are cheap so I just replace them earlier. I replace them every 8 months or so unless they’re faulty and drain quickly after 4 months (Amazon basics batteries do that mostly).

@mmbryans9889 9 месяцев назад

same experience @tinawood5926, opened 2 new batteries and no beep. It was a struggle to get the old battery out and new one inc! The device is less than 2 years old, and I will be looking for the receipt. It seems this First Alert model SA303A is extremely unreliable! Just the same, @Housebarons, your instructions are excellent; your conciseness and brevity are very much appreciated.

@Fightnomics 9 месяцев назад

@@Housebarons I had the same experience on now two alarm sets. Gone through several packages of new batteries, and once batteries are replaced, alarms just keep chirping. I'm very aware of the battery connector alignment, but also tried flipping them to no avail. What else could be the issue? One by one I'm going to have to remove all of these alarms in my house. Brand new home when we moved in, so all alarms are exactly three years old. Would replacing batteries on a completely unplugged unit help, then reinstalling the alarm? Must be some simple fix, I can't imagine so many units would no longer work after the first battery replacement.

@tinawood5926 8 месяцев назад

@@Housebarons it was new batteries. I just popped them out and back in again. They have to really fit just right. But it’s all good.

@ballan00 6 месяцев назад

I always have a struggle getting the old battery out and the new one in... sometimes I don't think it seats right and still beeps at me... so I have to wiggle it around to make sure it is in correctly and eventually it goes away. These are not that expensive or hard to replace if you have one that won't stop no matter what.

But how does the battery connect when door closes? Directions with system say absolutely nothing about direction of battery. I feel like it’s a battery just sitting there.

@Housebarons 11 месяцев назад

Hey frier…, I’m kind believing w/o seeing, But by design, there have to be 2 metal contacts in there that engineers have designed so it works seamlessly when the battery door closes. If you press the test button it should function and beep. That is you check for proper operation. Thanks for watching!
