Expert Pro - Remote control battery issue
#11
Wow, I didn't realize the remote batteries in the D200/D220 last that long! Months to years even? These are using the smaller sized remote control.

I have the larger remote for the D250/D1000. It uses 2xAAA batteries, and I'm using Eneloop rechargeable batteries. I don't remember exactly, but they last around 2-3 months or so before needing to be recharged. When the battery gets low the first symptom is that it doesn't change the volume well. Then I'll swap in a newly charged pair of batteries and it'll work fine again.

Just curious - to other D250/D1000 users with the larger remote - what battery life are you getting?

As far as I know, rechargeable batteries last less than normal batteries. In any case, the lifespan of 2-3 months for the batteries of a remote control is far too short...

Resurrecting an old thread. The battery drain issue on my 1000 Pro remote got worse, to the point that the batteries would last only 1 week before needed replacing.

I contacted Devialet support, and was quoted a reasonable sum for the repair, which included shipping between Singapore and France.

The remote control came back a few weeks later. They had changed the electronics, and this fixed the problem.
Another thing is that the volume knob is now extremely smooth - I can even make it spin!

My 440-Pro remote had already visited France once (in 2020) due to excessive battery drain issue. Now, its doing a set of Duracell for 1 month. So, I guess, I am slowly getting there (1-2 weeks of battery life) and looks like its gonna visit France once again.
