The most I can tell you is leave them out and explain to them when they get there what happens when you put the batteries in the smoke detector. Maybe you have a defective one and it needs to be replaced. I'm sure they will look into seeing why this does this to you. I hope you don't worry to much and they don't get to upset for you not haveing them in. Good luck and may the problem be resolved.
