Re: Smoke detector and rechargeable 9V battery?

[<hapticz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

they dont hold charge long enough.

most alkaline will disharge slow enough to supply for a year.

most ni-cad  ni-mh  and other will retain adequate charge only for abt a
month, then need refresh

standard alkaline and zinc/acid batts actually create power from a chemical
reaction,

recharge types ones are only poor storage devices.
