Not XKCD - Smoke detector batteries
This comic is inspired by XKCD and recent events and observations in my life. Disclaimer: I have no artistic ability and blatantly rip off the XKCD style and artwork, however the idea is mine and I feel it fits.

Voltages drop in the cold, and the middle of the night is usually the coldest. So that's why this is probably not far from reality.
33 0 ReplyWouldn’t the lower temperature make it highly likely that the low power beep occurs only during the middle of the night, but not during the day?
6 1 ReplyThat's if the alarm reads the voltage directly. But if the low voltage flips a switch that stays flipped, then no.
6 1 ReplyOk, but the probability would still be shifted towards starting at night.
Maybe it could be more like 80% for it to start beeping in the night and 20% it starts during other times.
