Hello all,I had put a household, battery powered CO detector on our C&C37/40+ a
week or two ago, and got on the boat yesterday only to hear it going off.
Everything was turned off, so I'm reasonably certain we didn't have CO building
up. We do, however, have solar panels, and I'm sure they were happily
charging the batteries, and some folks said that the hydrogen coming off
charging we cell batteries will set of the detector. So, is there a detector
that won't go off when exposed to hydrogen? Or if I mounted it in the stern
berth where we sleep instead of in the main salon would that be far enough away
that the hydrogen should dissipate and not set off the alarm?I'm not hugely
concerned about CO because the only things on board that should generate it are
our diesel engine and the propane stove & grill. However if cheap and easy
enough, I wouldn't mind having one. Thanks for the insights,Bruce Whitmore1994
