[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 525280, member: 23472"] General comments: Apart from you should never tamper / change a "sealed for life" smoke alarm battery as it will invalidate the warrantee, smoke detectors only have a "natural life" of 10 years, even most fire alarm detectors should be changed every 10 years. It is said that over time the components breakdown (Capacitors can and do dry out) yes they may (Probably will) still work, but they are not as responsive as when first made. All smoke alarms should be tested once a week, or on the 1st of the month as an [B]absolute minimum[/B]. Reasoning is, you don't want to find out too late it is not working. It is even possible to press the test button with a broom handle. (Just not too hard) My Thoughts regarding Fire angel: They know they have a problem. They claim to have fixed it, yet the press release was made 1 year before the ones you have were made, they should not require proof of purchase, they will require make model and batch number. The models they admit to having a problem is ST-620 and ST-622, and the WST-630 As for will they try and wriggle out of replacing them FOC only Fire Angel can answer that, but do let us know how it goes. They have a contact us page and phone number, which you can find if you [URL='https://www.fireangel.co.uk/home/contact/']Click here.[/URL] And before he says it, Kerching would say "Aico End of" [/QUOTE]
