If you used lithium rechargeable batteries it may stay at 100% until the batteries die, since the buck converter presents a constant 1.5v
On that note: do not use these type of batteries for smoke detectors. Most will not be able to detect that the battery is about to die, and just stop working one day
Isn’t there a smoke detector battery depletion detector? Or you need to regularly do a smoke detector battery smoke test. /s
