Roku remote quickly drains batteries, I even changed remote and it still occurs.
Still killing the battery even after switching remotes.
Forum Discussion
In order to keep batteries from dying quickly in our remotes, we have the battery cover permanently off and we remove one of the batteries every time we get done with the Roku. That way the remote only stays active, and draining the batteries, while we are using the Roku. Our remotes started draining batteries in 2021 after an OS update. None of the updates since then have corrected this issue.
And before I get the standard response from Roku that it’s not their problem, or that I should give them more money and get a new remote, don’t waste my time or yours. If Roku wants to step up and take responsibility, replace the defective remotes at no cost to the customer.
What’s the solution? This is an absurd problem.
