A guy at work had a Mk2 and just ordered two remotes; I just got my empeg last week. My remote came with a dead battery, so he let me borrow the battery out of his extra remote. Thing is, his primary remote ran out of juice after about two days. He warned me about this yesterday and then mine just died last night. For some reason these remotes came from the factory very drained of power. We had three remotes between us and they are all dead. I'm on my way to buy new batteries right now. . .
