Fast draining batteries on Roku remote
The first year my remote was good. Now all 3 remotes are eating batteries like candy. I am disabled & I need my remotes to work & I live on a very low fixed income, I can't always be trying to batteries. Why do your remotes, get like that so quickly??
- Greetings here in the Roku Community, countrygall66!
Thank you for letting us know about the issues you're experiencing with the battery health of your Roku remote. We're here to provide further information and suggestions.Please be advised that Roku remotes are designed to go the distance, but a few things will drain a remote a bit faster.- Heavy usage of private listening on the remote using the mobile app will save your batteries!
- Congested Wi-Fi network around the device--the reason for this is that most remotes will use RF to connect to your Roku player and constant reconnection will use more battery.
- Or viewing lots of short-form content, like YouTube, where a streamer could go through a few hundred button presses in an hour.
Furthermore, we offer a Roku Voice Remote Pro (2nd edition) with 50% more battery life than the previous edition, with USB-C charging that typically lasts three months per charge. Live TV is one button push away, and you can pull up your favorite apps and adjust settings, like closed captioning, at any time with the quick launch button.
We hope you find this information helpful.
Thanks,
Jharra
