I'm having the same issue. I'm swapping out batteries every few days even though I am not using the remote often. In two weeks I've gone through 3 pairs of batteries.

Model: 3810X

Serial #: YH0059424522

Hi @DJUNC87

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

For your Roku Streaming Stick+ 3810X, we've released an update to your remote that we believe will address the issue you are experiencing. Please perform a system restart from your Roku device to update your remote to the latest version. To do this, go to Settings > System > System Restart.

After you perform the system update, continue to use your device as normal and monitor the remote battery percentage listed under Settings > Remotes > About

Please let us know if you notice any improvements in battery life or if the issue is persisting.

All the best,
Kariza

Since you have a Roku Streaming Stick+ 3810CA, I'd recommend trying first the steps I provided in my post above then let us know if there's any difference after.

Please keep us updated.

We're here to help.

Battery life will vary based on usage. For normal use, the remote batteries may last two months or longer. Does your Roku remote support private listening? This may also be one factor for the battery drain.

Please reply here with the serial number of the Roku device associated with the affected remote. It can be viewed by navigating to Settings > System > About.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

All the best,
Kariza

My Roku remote batteries die every 2 weeks. Such a waste of time, money and batteries! So annoying.
