Weather radios, older remotes, anywhere they may leak and ruin devices. And recycle, don't toss the old ones. Time change dates are easiest to remember, or set 1 or 2 annual reminders. by Njtotx3 It's a bit ridiculous to suggest changing the batteries in your TV remote once per year. You change them when they no longer work. Don't leave batteries long-term in devices you don't regularly use. Permalink 115
