It will still beep without the battery. I shit you not. I had the same problem. These were hardwired 110 and also had 9 volt battery. Well when the battterygets low it started it. So I unplugged it, took the battery out and it still fucking kept beeping every 5 or 10 mins real low. It sorta freaked me out, I threw it o ut in the yard till the next day.

I guess they must have some sort of capacitor that holds some voltage for a while.
