Some people actually do things at the time they're supposed to happen. 

Didja know that some people change the batteries in their smoke alarms every six months, (at daylight savings time)? Turns out some people are actually responsible enough to THINK AHEAD about their batteries dying, rather than waiting for the baleful beep of a dying detector.

Who are these people, you ask? Dads. Definitely dads. The same quirky folks who do their taxes in March and floss. 

If you know one of these "dads," you're going to blow his mind with these Duracell 9V Ultra Lithum batteries. Why? Because replacing batteries is the exact kind of taking-care-of-business responsibility that dads absolutely relish. Plus, these batteries last extra long, which will set their neurotic dad-brains at ease during the battery-changing offseason. 

Another fact about dads that make them the ideal recipients of these batteries: They all live in sprawling, ranch-style houses with at least eight smoke detectors. Those of us who live in studio apartments might be hard-pressed to justify the use of so many batteries, but not so the estate-dwelling dad.

Who knows, maybe you yourself are a dad, in which case you've probably already changed your batteries this spring. But hey, it's never too early to start planning your autumnal battery change.
