Change Your Clock Change Your {Energizer} Battery

Disclosure:  I received the products below to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

Its that time again when it starts getting dark sooner and we change our clocks back from Daylight Savings Time.  Its also the time of year when Energizer partners with 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.  I think that is a great way to remember to change your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector battery – Change Your Clock Change Your Battery makes it so easy to remember to do it!  This is actually the 26th year the annual program has taken place to raise awareness.

With 38% of fatal fire injuries incurring in homes with no smoke alarms and 24% occurring in homes where at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate, frequently due to being dead or missing batteries, it is super important to stay on top of changing out the batteries.  Something so simple as a few batteries can literally mean life or death for your family if you think about it.

I actually have it marked on my calendar to change out the batteries and have them on the counter ready for my husband to change them out, no excuses in this household!  I never realized either how many detectors and alarms we have and I honestly bet my husband has missed one or two in the past so this year I have enough batteries for each one and I am going to tell him to keep changing until he runs out of batteries!
