I have the same #####ing question 2-3 times a year.  Previous Messageif a weak battery is close to the voltage threshold where it triggers the beep, it'll dip below it for the first time at night when it's coolest. I suspect this isn't really the reason, but it seems like it would make sense. Previous MessageNm |
