Hardwired smoke/CO detector trouble...

Hi all - so, we have hardwired smokes everywhere, of two different varieties. The CO combo units upstairs and downstairs have been having the batteries die every 2-3 months. One of the upstairs units seemed to have loose hardwire connections, so when I fixed that, a new battery lasted about 6 months...acceptable. However, the downstairs unit has no loose connections, but still dies frequently, and now has been going off (alarming) occasionally for about a minute or two, and then shutting off on its own...

So here's the question... Should I replace what are likely dud units, should I check the wiring, or should I look for another problem?
