 have several Nest Detect sensors in my home and most of them have been working fine for over a year. Unfortunately 3 of my Nest Detect sensors seems to give me a low battery warnings every few months. and that replacing it lasts 2-3 months before I get the warning again. 

I've gone through several packs of Energizer 123 Lithium batteries with no improvement to battery life. I've factory reset the nest detect, and uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail.

What can I do as it costing a small fortune in replacement batteries?

I understand that issues with Nest Detect can be confusing but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help. 

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this? If so, what troubleshooting steps have you tried? 

Please let me know.

Yes we are still having issues.  I am going to get rid of the Nest and get a basic smoke detector.
