Yet another CO detector low voltage question
My CO detector goes off when the coach batteries reach 11.8V. Most specs I've found indicate detectors run all the way down to 7-8 volts. Is mine at the end of life?

Maybe the spec simply means it will still sound down to 7-8 volts, not that it will sit there quietly and function down to there. You want significant overlap between false sounding and completely dead or a rapidly discharging battery would go from detecting (but quiet) to completely quiet without warning.
