The monitor is hardwired to the battery and will drain it even when used.
I have a battery disconnect that cuts battery power to unit, so no drain.
Get rid of your detector and buy a gas detector from Home Depot that has a 10 year battery installed.
Hope this helps.

Not all rigs have hardwired CO detectors or even hardwired smoke detectors. The only detector in our rig that is hardwired is the propane detector. Our CO and smoke detectors are both battery powered, in fact the last smoke detector I installed has a 10 year battery in it, and the last CO detector has I think a 7 year battery in it. When the failure alarm goes off, you just replace the units with new ones. Also, CO and propane are totally different gases, and a CO detector should only be replaced with another CO detector.
