Hopper 3 remote batteries

[dodger72]

Is it normal for the batteries in the Hopper 3 remote to run down quickly? I have had the hopper since June and have had to change the batteries twice

No, which remote is this?

 

[dodger72]

the one that came with the hopper don't know model number

It'll be molded into the battery cover. Probably 54.x

Either way not normal, probably just a bad remote.
