I like the second kind of wrong. My smoke sensors start to make random short bleeps. I have about 10 of them in our house. Usually it will take at least annoying 15 minutes to locate the culprit.

Don't they have a LED to indicate low power? I don't know much about smoke detectors, but I'd imagine they'd have a LED on at all times to indicate that they're working.
