I always regard that PSA as bollocks, monitor my smoke alarms and when they beep or stop blinking the red light once a minute, *then* I replace the battery. Happens maybe every 5 years, so I am not trashing cells that are more than 90% capacity.
My (networked) smoke alarms take 2 AA batteries, and if you let them go 2 years will randomly start to have false alarms (in the entire house, at night!), so I religiously change them out every year with a calendar reminder.
I label the old AA's "LOW" with a sharpy and use them in kids toys without resenting the cost as they are now "free kids batteries".
