Remote Batteries need to be changed every couple of weeks

I purchased a Roku Streaming Stick+ over a year ago and it worked great for about the whole first year.  The batteries in the remote lasted me almost that full first year. Then a couple of months ago things changed. The batteries in the remote started to die quickly and I needed to change them every couple of weeks.  I have changed the batteries 4 times in about 2 months after originally getting almost a whole year our of one set.  It is frustrating to say the least. 

Is there a reason this would start to happen?

Is there anything I can do to remedy this issue?

Is there a way for me to Private Message this information to you?  I don't feel comfortable providing it in an open forum.

We got a Roku 2 months ago and it needs new batteries once or twice a week. I hate this thing and intend to return it to Amazon. I've researched it now and it's a common problem Roku has known about for well over a year.

Re: Remote Batteries need to be changed every couple of weeks

Hi and I hope I'm sending this to the right person, On Dec 30th 2020 I purchased the Roku Streaming Stick+ from Walmart. It is used in our bedroom so we only use it once or twice a week. Every time we use it we have to put in new batteries this been from day 1, It just eats batteries up. My Roko account is [personal information removed]. My Device ID is 225089265031  The remote Model # RC-EL1 and SKU # 3226000679. I so not see a serial number on the remote. The SKU # on the box is 3810RW and the Lot# is 2141021103

Anything you can do would be helpful

Thank you
