GsChinadoll This comment really sums up the baisis for many desicions. Just saying.
Oh, and sorry to 2nd you but, no it doesn't end..............

Ten years is a manufacturers recomended life of a "smoke" detector to be with in what they consider its average reliable range. What the device is exposed to can change this considerably.(dust, cooking fumes, being dropped when changing the battery, ect..) It won't stop working in ten years, but alot can happen in that time frame jeopardising its calibration.
