Remote batteries going flat very quickly

[Jandi]

2008 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser VX  diesel. I have owned the above vehicle for 14 years and done nearly 400,000 km but in the last 9 months the batteries in both remotes have had to be replaced 3 times, the last batteries only lasting a couple of  months. We have not changed where we store the remotes, so am at a loss to explain the current problem. Has anybody else had this problem, and if so what was the fix

I would think that the batteries are beyond their use by date. Change vendor and / or check the dates on the package.

Different vendors, last batteries supposed to be the best. In addition it is both remotes that are going flat.

There was a post on the now defunct LCOOL forum whereby you could put your remote

in a 'sleep' state and save the battery. It seems the remote is constantly looking for a signal

which in turn drains the battery.
