   My day to be inefficacous.  Bill is entirely correct that the produced   
   gas is CO and not CO2.  I have changed the subject title to correct this   
   error.  Anyway, do consider taking out the batteries on these when in   
   storage so they don't get mucked up.   
      
   BTW, my unit, and I assume most others, does have a propane gas   
   detector, too.  Unlike the smoke and CO alarms, the propane detector in   
   mine is hard wired to the house batteries.  It will always draw a very   
   small amount of juice, but won't need battery replacement.
