Don:
The Fire Dept here recommend changing the smoke detector batteries twice a year. They used to suggest at the change between real and daylight time, but that now means one set is only for about 4 months. I now do it at the equinoxes.
This gives me a lot of partially used 9V batteries. Need something that uses them ...
I have a lighting unit for a small garage that takes 9V. It includes a welding torch and washroom light that goes on and off.
I also use them to test locos -- posts are pretty clse to HO gauge.
Our detectors are also hardwired into the mains. I think that the batteries hardly get used at all.
