I don't use cheep alkaline batteries in CO and smoke detectors after running into inconsistent quality, such as batteries lasting as little as a few days.
Now I only use the energizer lithium batteries in smoke detectors they last years.
I say make sure you have a smoke detector above the clothes dryer and hot water heater those are the 2 main fire starters outside of the kitchen.
My preference is alpha emitter based tech. It's worked for more than 50 years and they are boarder line too sensitive.
