I just remember buying brand new duracell and remote was barely responsive if at all
out of 1.5 my tester showed .026
so they were new to me but very much stale...lol
boot from live tv and suspend has always worked for me for a year now so updates didn't fix that for me
I don't use suspend that much anymore as it leaves external drive powered on(why kill it before I get lots of use out of it...lol)
