2015 Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery
Set your clocks back one hour Sunday, Nov. 1st

For 28 years, Energizer® has partnered with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) to keep families safe through the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program. Energizer® and the IAFC work to remind people of the simple, life-saving habit of changing and testing the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when setting the clocks forward each spring and back each fall for daylight saving purposes.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that 71% of smoke alarms which failed to operate had missing, disconnected or dead batteries, making it important to take time each year to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
