CO and LP detector battery drain. Solution?
Hi guys, I just found out that the detectors in an RV use about 35-40 amps a day. On a "typical" 120 Ah system, charged to the normal 90%, and discharged to the normal 50%, the detectors will drain...

My CO detector runs six months (or more) on a set of 3 AA batteries... Not sure how much power the Propane (Explosive gas) detector pulls, but since it is not one of those with a remote controled valve (Some will shut off propane if explosive gas is detected) I'm sure it's not much more than the CO detector.
Smoke detector uses a 9 volt retangular battery, also 2 per year.
I think you missed a decimal point on your detector current use.
