The old saying of change batteries when you change the clocks was relevant back when DST was 6 months of the year, but DST now lasts 8 months so it's no longer a good reminder. I recommend changing the batteries when you see fireworks, New Year's Day and Independence Day. I change smoke alarm batteries twice per year in January and July.
