Reply to comment by BLMIII in LPT: Pick at least 1 day a year to check/replace/remove dying batteries, not just in smoke alarms. Weather radios, older remotes, anywhere they may leak and ruin devices. And recycle, don't toss the old ones. Time change dates are easiest to remember, or set 1 or 2 annual reminders. by Njtotx3

You’d be surprised how much a difference fresh batteries makes in a TV remote, at least with the regular infrared kind. There’s like months of KINDA being able to change the channel, IF you press the button 3 times and hold the remote up high, that’s actually low-battery-related. the IR receivers are sensitive enough to use reflections off walls and stuff when the remote battery is strong 💪🔋
