Advice from Sainsburys

The other day when I came home, I looked up and noticed that our smoke detector was missing a battery. Surely that can’t be safe! So today I picked up a new one down at Sainsburys.

I noticed the security tag on the back of the packet when I picked the battery up, but I didn’t take much notice of it (other than thinking it would probably set off the security alarm, which thankfully it didn’t). It was only when I got home and opened the packet that I noticed what it actually said.

“Please remove prior to microwaving”.

That’s some solid advice.

Well I must say I’m glad to see they are warning people about that now. I had to learn the hard way.

@nathan I’m betting it will recharge it. Try it and let me know how you go…
