I agree with Scott, a case like this where batteries are used a lot is exactly what NIMH cells are best at. Buy 4 cells in a pack with a charger that's made to go with those cells. That is presuming the remote uses 2 cells. Then you can rotate cells between charging and using. It's a small pain, but much better than buying new cells all the time.
