Abstract:
1. A kit for remotely locating a smoke detector battery from a surface mounted smoke detector, said smoke detector comprising an internal two wire battery connector for connection to a smoke detector battery of a first voltage, said kit comprising: a first connector arranged to mate with said internal two wire battery connector and having a first pair of first electrical wire conductors, each of said first electrical wire conductors connectable at one end to said two wire battery connector; a thin flexible tape wire comprising a pair of elongate, flat electrical conductors, said tape wire mountable to a flat surface, said surface being one of the same surface upon which said smoke detector is surface mounted or a surface adjacent to the surface upon which said smoke detector is surface mounted; a second connector configured to connect said first pair of electrical wire conductors to a first end of said flexible tape wire pair elongate, flat electrical conductors; and a smoke detector battery container, said container comprising contacts for electrically connecting said battery container to a second end of said flexible tape wire pair of elongate, flat electrical conductors, said container being surface mountable at a location on a surface to provide convenient access; said battery container comprising a plurality of battery holders, said plurality of battery holders comprising: said container is configured such that if a first battery is retained in said first battery holder, at least one of said second batteries is blocked from being inserted into a corresponding one of said second battery holders such that the connection of said serially connected second plurality of second batteries to said container contacts is open.
