Batteries give off hydrogen. I am not sure why a CO detector would react to H2. If you have a combo CO/Propane detector, it would likely react to any flammable gas.

I set mine off over charging my 8d battery. Pretty sure batteries off gas hydrogen and not Co. Anyone know how they actually work? Or is my chemistry lacking?

I replaced it with a Xintex marine CO detector. It is now old enough to need replacement or a factory refurb if they will do it. That will cost either $140 or so for new or $25 for a refurb. So I was in the hardware store and what do you know – a home CO detector for $25 brand new and it runs on batteries. Does anyone have any idea if these are suitable for a boat? I am going to get something, no way do I want people sleeping below without some kind of alarm. Joe Della Barba Coquina
