   Most of our units will have smoke and CO2 alarms in them.  I have added   
   mine to the end of the season routine list for removing the batteries.   
   I will do this yearly and replace first time I get ready to take them   
   out with fresh ones.  Doing this should give adequate performance for   
   the year, and removing them will also ensure the batteries don't start   
   leaking alkaline and ruin the fixtures.  They can also become a fire   
   hazard in this state.  I have removed mine and placed a tape on reminder   
   inside the RV to replace them when I begin using it again.   
      
   Something to consider doing.
