Damn smoke detector started giving the low battery warning at 2 am loud af. Seems like they only beep in the middle of the night.

It's because the lower temperatures experienced at night cause the chemical reaction in the already depleted battery to slow down.

Temperature drops with sun going down.

Battery that is dying does not have enough energy to sustain itself without heat.

It's because you use bad grammar and don't know how to type.

Same reason a water heater never goes out during the week. It waits until your gone for the weekend when you can't buy one or find someone to instal/replace.

Change your battery. Eat a dick. Take out the trash. Walk the dog. Do you do anything?

Well. Did you change the battery in the middle of the night last time? Time before that?
