    First Alert says that it's called Alarm Latch. That means the unit has previously detected. The test button resets it. On many of their other units, such as their hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have the green LED flash the same way for Low Battery Latch, to indicate which unit needs replacement batteries.

    The flashing green light on the brk 9120b is indicating a alarm memory, meaning that unit has initiated a alarm and is letting you know it was that unit that set off all the alarms, just press the button once briefly to reset the memory

      Who ever designed the battery slot is an idiot.

      It is not necessarily the battery because my light is blinking with a brand new battery.

    Fun fact. On the kidde model 1276, the flashing green light after it has gone off means it's indicating an alarm memory. Just test it and it will turn off.

      I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Forgive me, I'm a real estate professional, not a UA-camr so I'm not on here much. The average lifespan of a smoke detector is 10 years. It might be time for a new one. I had the same problem once and I just replaced the detector. Again, I'm so sorry for the late response..

      It means that it’s initiated an alarm. I looked at mine and the battery voltage was 9.9 volts
