Hi Dsuriano,
Thanks for reaching out to the Roku Community.
We're sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with the remote. Have you tried re-pairing the remote to the Roku device? This may help resolve the battery-draining issue. Please follow the steps here under Troubleshoot your voice remote with standard batteries: How to fix your Roku voice or simple remote that is not working.
If you have already tried this and the issue still occurs, please let us know along with the serial number of your Roku device where the remote is paired to. So we can provide further assistance.
Regards,
Nimfa
