Changing the batteries in the smoke detectors used in TV is tricky. First you're working on a ladder above your head. The battery door slides open half way and you have to pry the 9v battery out from behind. I don't want to bad mouth China but I'll bet the damn things were made there and no one really cared how difficult it was going to be to change the batteries. If the Fire Dept is willing, it's worth a dozen doughnuts or a donation to their favorite charity.
