Re: Lithium 9V batteries in CO/Smoke detectors?

Blowing out a match and then holding the smoke near it is a pretty valid test. Much better than pressing the button anyway.

Surprisingly enough that actually worked, after 22 years!

I'm sure the sensitivity might not be as good as when it was new though. The concentrated smoke from a blown out match being held right underneath it, well, that's a LOT of smoke.
