Confused about Co & LP Detectors
I need to get a detector for our Motorhome. My thought was to get a combo CO/LP Detector that is 12V with back up of 9V. Is this possible? Or is just a 9V ok. I wanted to have both sources of powe...

I avoid the combination units, since LP detectors are normally mounted near the floor level, and CO detectors at eye level or above. For LP detection, I prefer the 12-volt wired units, but I prefer CO detectors that use 9-volt or multiple AA batteries for the flexibility in mounting them. Battery longevity is usually about the same as most smoke detectors. Both types will signal a low battery condition.
Exactly.....
Never understood the LP/CO combo.
