Energizer is the only brand that we use in our house. It is most reliable and I trust it.
Has this year flown by or what? I seriously can not believe it is going to be November. This time of year is when we do Daylight Savings, yup it’s November 3rd…are you ready for it? You know what that means….Change your clocks, change your batteries.
It’s also that time of year when Energizer, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and fire departments nationwide join forces for the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program to raise awareness of the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in helping to keep families safe in their homes. This is the 26thyear for the annual program and the message is still an important one.
Did you know, thirty-eight percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes with no smoke alarms, while 24 percent occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate, frequently due to dead or missing batteries.
Every year we change our clocks back we also change our batteries. It just habit now. Make it a good habit for your own family too.
Get this:
From now through November 3, visit the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page and click on the Fire Safety Info Tab. Here you will have the chance to enter a sweepstakes to win an additional Family Safety Kit. Energizer will be giving away one Family Safety Kit per day. Contained in the kit, valued at more than $167.
This post is to remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you set your clocks back – it could help save a life.

I try to remember to change the batteries with the time change, sometimes it’s a week or two later though.
I don’t.
Yes, that’s the only way I can remember!
Yes, I do…otherwise I wouldnt remember to!
yes I do its easier for me to remember
Yes.
No I don’t but great idea
No, I don’t usually change my batteries with the time change. It is a good idea though.
usually
Yes we do! Our home insurance company usually send us batteries for our smoke detectors every year about the time the time change happens. It is always a great reminder! 🙂
I haven’t in the past, but it’s a great way to remember!

i tend to only remember to change them when the low battery beeping starts.
I try to, it’s a good way to remember.
no, we should get a system, though
I change them on the 1st of the year.
Not usually. I change them when ours start beeping.
No, I can’t say that I’ve ever done that. It’s a good idea though.
I do! I started last year and its such an easy time to remember to do it!
No we don’t, great idea though to be a reminder!
no, I do not
No, I have always changed on New Years Day
We usually change out our batteries once they are completely dead.
No but this is a good reminder.
I change them every spring, but they do get ‘tested’ periodically – usually when a pie bubbles over in the oven, lol
We probably should, but we don’t.
We do! Our smoke alarms are hardwired together, if one foes off, they all do. Needless to say, we make sure the batteries do not die. We learned the hard way….CHAOS.
We change our smoke detector batteries with the time change; for safety.
I live in an apt so they change them twice a yr when they check the smoke detector. Thank you 🙂
No but this is a good reminder. I will do it!
No we don’t I usually change when it makes the chirping sound. 🙂
We check our alarms but don’t always change the batteries.
No… I usually wait until they’re dead… not on purpose… I just tend to forget.

yes – we change them with the time change. I hate for the alarm to chirp in the middle of the night.
We do change our batteries when the time changes.

We just moved to a new place. We really should!
I generally wait until they chirp….

My husband is the one who changes the batteries
No I change it on my homes anniversary in July.
No, but that is a great reminder.
No we change with the New Year.
No I am really bad about changing my batteries. I wait until it stops completely and then change them! It does makes sense to chage them when you change the time though so you don’t have to keep taking it down.
We do it with every time change.
We do it every time change.
I do at my rental properties because I have someone hired to do it. Never have time to do it at home.
I try to change my batteries with the time change
No, not usually. I wait until it starts chirping!
No, but it sounds like a good idea i’ve never thought about!

I change my batteries every six months.

Ah nope. We change the batteries when the low-battery ‘chirp’ starts. CHanging with the clocks seems like a much better plan.
I’ve changed with my homes anniversary. Every july I change batteries.
No I’m only change them when they completely run out…I’m bad about rolling them around and flipping them around to get all I can get out of them! 🙂
I normally do, if I remember, I need to get better at changing the batteries though, it is so easy to forget!
Yes, the time change is a great reminder to change batteries.
