I have never had to replace the batteries in any remotes that I have used, which is 4. But out of the 4 remotes I have owned 2 of them stopped working completely. The other 2 I still own and are working for now. Therefore I'm with the guy that says the battery will out last the remote. Unless you put your remote in a padded box after using it, it will evetually stop working. Remotes get bumped around while they are hanging in your ignition not to mention in pockets, purses, etc.

I have a working 15 year old, 2 working 11 year old, and 2 working 2 month old. all toyota.

never had an issue except battery replacement

wow thats great. The remote for my 05 Taco stopped working within the first 6 months. Maybe they don't make em as good as they use to....or maybe you take yours off the key chain and put it inside a padded box inside of a gun case the first day you own the car.
