Re: Battery drainage issue & newly purchase remote

Hi, @WOW5 

Welcome!

I understand the issue you have encountered with the battery drainage on your Roku remote, and I would like to gather further details to help.

To help me better understand the issue, can you please provide the details below:

  • What specific Roku remote model are you having issues with?
  • How long does the battery of the remote last?

With more details, our team can assist you further.

Thanks,
Roku Community Team.

I would like to add for the original poster's perspective that my own new Voice Remote PRO model RC-501 Edit: RCB1R lasted 14 days on its initial charge.

Edit to clarify it went down to 34% after 14 days.

Re: Battery drainage issue & newly purchase remote

I have the same problem with 2 roku remotes. 1 has alkaline batteries that drain  out every  month. 
The  other a brand new voice remote pro that came with roku ultra and takes over 4 hours to charge and wont hold a charge more than a day.  So far I haven't been able to get a warranty replacement.
This is a very common complaint. I think Roku remotes are designed to fail so you have to go out and buy a new one.
