Day Light Savings Time/Check your Batteries Day

When people hear the smoke alarm going off, it can be annoying to listen to and shut off. However, that’s your alarm system going off to tell you to change the batteries on your smoke alarm.

Check Your Batteries Day aims to teach people about the importance of changing batteries, why it is important, and how you can share this information with people everywhere.

History of Check Your Batteries Day

Taking place during Daylight Savings Time, Check Your Batteries Day hopes to serve as a valuable time to check your batteries on your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, radon detectors, and other electronics. Why is this important?

Detectors like these can save lives. Before the invention of these electronics, detecting smoke and carbon monoxide was practically impossible until it was too late.
