    The battery needs to be replaced in the living room smoke detector. It's on vaulted ceilings that are about 25'+ high. So far, I've read Little Giant is good, but those are expensive!

    Werner has one also, but people complain it takes two to extend the ladder to 20'+

    I've also read about Gorilla Ladders, but they seem to have gone out of business

    Any recommendations on a 22' ladder that's easy to store?

    If you only need it for that one task, you can go to home depot & just rent the ladder. Problem is having a car big enough to fit the ladder in.

    Just make sure you avoid the friend ladder.
