Q-L,

Do manufacturers offer replacement remote controls?? So frustrating!!!

I have a cottage up north, and everytime we leave we take the time to remove the batteries from the remote controls.

Last year, we actually had an alkaline battery leak while OUTSIDE of the remote!! Luckily we happened to have laid them on a plastic coaster so they wouldn't roll off the fireplace mantle - otherwise the leaking alkaline battery would have damage the mantle finish.

I received my Eneloops and have started using them. Only a week or so into it, but so far so good. Now I just need to make sure that my wife recognizes them as rechargables, and doesn't toss them when they run low!!!!!

Now I find myself wondering if they make a 9V version. So far I only see lithium rechargable 9V batteries.
