Expectation of heater overnight
On a chilly Southern California desert night with temps in the low 40s, should I expect that my heater will pump warm air all night without draining my battery to "weak" levels. My batteries are newer...

Yeah, I've researched the same model of detector, but it appears that these detectors just seem to have random issues like this. It's not just the heater that triggers it, if the dog farts, it goes off.
Not that I recommend this for everyone, but I simply installed a cutoff switch. Now when it shrieks, I shut it down.
Problem is that I understand the safety feature and would use it if it worked, but so far it's been the detector that "cried wolf".
If it were me i'd replace the detector. We lost a racer a few years ago to CO poisoning while sleeping in an enclosed trailer with a propane heater and no CO detector. Granted different scenario but it really hit home.
