WiiM Remote battery life

[stewosch]

Hey everyone,

Just curious what battery life you get out of your remote?
I have a Wiim Amp since November, and just had to replace the batteries of the remote for the second time. I don't even use the remote that much (maybe a few times a week, when I adjust volume while watching TV*), so that seems quite short to me. Is there maybe someting wrong with my remote or is this usual?

*: I would love to use the HDMI Arc feature, but I never got it to work with my LG B4.

Never changed them since I got the Ultra in August.

Hi stewosch,

Please kindly send us a feedback ticket through the app so we can look into both the remote battery and HDMI ARC issue with your LG B4 TV.
Thank you for your patience and continued support!

is this usual?

Well, I've been using mine daily since November last year and it's still on the first set of batteries and is still being reported as okay in the App.

Are you shutting down the WiiM amp frequently? If so, you may be shortening the battery life of the remote (just a guess).
