Walmart frequently sells batteries that have been on the shelf too long. If all of your short lived ones are from the same package or two that could be the problem.

Hi, What would cause batteries to drain quickly, in things like remote controls for television sets? We have a Dish TV satellite system, and one of the remotes constantly has to have the batteries replaced! Granted, I don't buy the very expensive batteries; I buy Wal-Mart's off brand, but I don't have problems using them in other devices! This problem is really out of control because we're having to replace batteries, every two to three weeks, as of late! Dish is no help because they don't think it's a problem!
