(someone doesn't replace batteries as often as suggested)

I had similar issues. We all do (or did). I finally replaced all of my smoke alarms with the same model, and started replacing batteries regularly. It's worth it in the long run just eliminate the night you just had.

Like your car battery failing on a cold morning, temperature matters -- jmanatVT 06/25/2020 09:59AM

It's also quietest at night. May start early but you don't NOTICE-> -- HOKIERIT 06/25/2020 10:47AM

I had one that in addition to changing the battery, I reset it probably 100 -- BayHokie 06/25/2020 09:54AM

That is the correct procedure. ** -- EDGEMAN 06/25/2020 09:58AM
