While I agree that changing smoke detector batteries on a regular basis is a good idea (although it's required less often for hard-wired detectors with just a battery backup), it's important to note that the whole idea of changing when the time changes is a marketing gimmick created by a battery company. Change Your Clock Change Your Battery (r) was created by Eveready/Energizer and is very clever, but the primary objective was to sell more batteries.
Yep. Just like a one word change in instructions instantly doubled the sale of shampoo....Repeat.
