Why Is My Remote Draining Batteries. The battery life of my remote is short or the batteries drain too quickly. Dec 22 2010.
Or get a new one. I last changed them months ago and they now show 69. I have come to the determination that the remote can go to sleep when it knows where the Roku is.
This should help discern whether the problem is being caused by excessive drain in the RF circuit.
In theory this is true - but at lower RPMS the alternator is only charging the battery enough to keep the battery alive. Put fresh batteries in the remote and put it in IR mode. This has happened multiple times. The batteries drain on the Roku remote when the Roku is not continuously powered.
