With the changing of clock time coming up. I like to put new batteries
in all the clocks. I have about half dozen clocks around the house. I
do the clock batteries and time set at church, also. We have about 25
various clocks at church.

Yes, about this time of year. I like to dig out all my various bug out
bags, fanny packs, tool boxes, cave exploration bags, clothing
pockets, and every other nook and cranny. Change the batteries in
various hidden and sequestered lights.

Of course, the smoke detectors, too. I was talking to my Dad over
lunch. he says his detectors beep when they need a new battery, which
can be as long as two years. I think waiting that long is false
economy. I really reccomended he replace the batteries every year.
Cheaper than fire damage. Eveready alkalines (I think?) at Home Depot
in the multipacks, work out about a buck each. They also have good
price on AA Energizer. For the clocks. It's also wise to push the test
button on smoke detectors. I've had them stop working, and the button
test is important.

Everybody here gets a few batteries in their Christmas stocking for
the smoke and CO detectors, and they get changed out on Christmas Day.
I do the batteries in the clocks when they quit.

Take care.

Many battery prices are less at Costco. Particularly when quality is
considered. I use about 200 AA batterys a year and the latest ones
were a 40 pack at Costco.

Crikey! Would it test your intelligence to move it -out- of the
kitchen? There are new, less-sensitive kitchen monitors out now, too.

Yes, that is excellent advice. Sadly, I've not found any Costco iin
NYS. We do have BJ's Wholesale Club, and Sam's Club. Which are cheaper
for batteries. BJ's has a house brand of battery which seem to work
reasonably well.

I've gone to Powergenix rechargable in my digital camera. Had been
using NiMH which work also. The NiMH needed to be changed daily, they
tend to go dead. My other battery user, the mini mag. I've been using
up the older batteries I bought years ago.

I save the clock batteries from the church, many can be recharged with
Re-Nu battery charger.

Mine fail the toast test but pass the coffee roasting test.

The nearest is over 50 miles, and almost two hour drive because of
traffic lights & speed limits. Four hours on the road isn't worth it
for me. I use a Sam's club that's about 15 minutes away.

eBay. Brand name, late expiration, same price as Costco (without the
membership requirement), delivered to your door.

It's outside the kitchen in the hallway - and the kids are incapable of
closing doors behind 'em...

For kitchens, rate-of-heat-rise sensors are the way to go, if you can get
'em at a decent price.
