In a normal household, they are not networked together (one going off does not make them all go off). Assuming you have a normal setup when I say "unit" I mean that one (1) independent detector that is eating up batteries as you claim. If electrical, it would not hurt to have a professional check your installation.

Okay cool, they appear to be (I’ll look more closely) hardwired in but also run off battery? So maybe it’s not wired in. I’ll look to replace the unit as you say. I actually have been thinking about smart detectors that can notify me by phone so this may be a good time for that
