OAK BROOK, IL–(Marketwire – Feb 18, 2013) – Ace Hardware, the largest retailer-owned hardware cooperative in the industry, is celebrating National Battery Day on February 18th by offering helpful advice on the importance of proper battery use and a special promotion. From February 20th – 24th, 2013, Ace will offer customers $ 5 off their purchase of $ 25 or more of regular priced merchandise at participating stores with a coupon or online at acehardware.com when entering the coupon code BATTERY13 at checkout*.
“National Battery Day is a great time to remind homeowners how important it is to regularly check the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors,” said Lou Manfredini, Ace’s Home Expert. “As any good neighbor will tell you, be mindful of the batteries in your home because you never know when an emergency will strike.”
In addition to celebrating the invention that makes many modern conveniences possible, February 18th also marks a day to emphasize the significance batteries play in home safety. To help celebrate National Battery Day, Manfredini offers this neighborly advice to make sure homeowners stay powered up:
Shop Smart: When it comes to batteries, you get what you pay for. Less expensive options may seem like a bargain, but may not last as long and could end up costing you more for your portable power.
Replace Often: Cold weather brings with it increased risks of power outages, fires and potential carbon monoxide poisoning, so it’s important for homeowners to remember to test and change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as flashlights. You should maintain the batteries in these items according to the manufacturer’s instructions and type of battery used. In general, it’s a good idea to replace these batteries twice a year, and your programmable thermostat batteries should be replaced annually.
Dispose: Alkaline batteries, such as AA batteries, have changed in how they are made. They no longer need to be recycled and can be disposed of in your everyday garbage can. However, rechargeable batteries should be recycled. Many hardware stores offer this service for a nominal fee or at no charge.
