heavy use of a remote, new battery every year (15 button presses/day)

life of remote ? well over 15 years

Besides you, who says the remote's last more than 15 years? Toyota?

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.
