What does it mean when my smoke or carbon monoxide alarm chirps once every few minutes?

When a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm chirps once every few minutes, it typically signal a low battery, which will need to be replaced for the device to keep working. Most hardwired smoke alarms also have a battery back up that will chirp also. They need changing too.
