Having to change batteries yet again

[Mr+Ripley]

  Two & a half months ago I put new batteries in my Sky Q remote. Today I had to change them as the warning icon had appeared on screen. I don't think this is very good having to change batteries this often, I don't even use the Sky Q remote that much. I use my other TV remote far more often for all the other platform apps I use, I never use Netflix, Amazon, Disney, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, or Sounds via my Q box, & yet I can't remember when I last changed the batteries on my TV remote, in fact, I don't think I ever have & I bought the TV in 2018.

  Is it normal for the Sky Q remote to use battery power so quickly even when not used much? I use Duracell.

Seems odd. I haven't had to change the batteries in my Q remote since I got it nearly a year ago. Might be worth calling Sky and seeing if they'll supply a replacement.
