   MICC (Model International Criminal Court)?   
      
   First google hit. No idea what MICC may be for you.   
      
   If you refer to "Mineral Insulated Copper Cable", no. The mains may   
   still be out.   
      
   The main reason to have the detectors run from battery is precisely to   
   avoid failures due to failed mains.
