FYI
My OEM Detector lasted 5 years. Replacement has just turned 5 years old and has started going off occasionally. Will order a new one soon.
Perhaps their lifespan is associated with being "ON" (Battery power on) and we're practically fulltimers so maybe that's why our detectors lifespans are nominal vs. longer.
Most are wired directly to battery bypassing disconnect switch ......parasitic draw.....so they are always ON
:h :S
Guess it sould be called only a partial disconnect switch!!
I installed my own, directly in the positive side of the battery.
