Not sure it went into 'fail' mode but rather they alarm when the 12v power gets low enough to where they can't properly operate.
As mentioned, they do have a life span and will often chirp even when having good 12v power, when reaching the end of their life.
Since yours stopped when plugged in it may be OK but it is old enough you might want to replace it anyway.
