Problem is a film of oxide corrosion forming on the battery terminals. This insulates the batteries from the circuit and causes the remote to quit.
Thie fix is to first thoroughly buff the battery terminals with a clean cloth or very fine (like #400) sandpaper. Then clean the terminals using IP or rubbing alcohol on clean paper towel. Finally reinsert the batteries taking special care to NOT touch the freshly buffed/cleaned metal terminals (salt/oils from you skin accelerates oxide corrosion).
Also when you replace the batteries, buy "made in USA", name brand (Duracell, Rayovac, etc) batteries. Cheap, no-name, Chinese batteries are notorious for fast corroding terminals.
Note this also applies to other lightly loaded, battery-operated devices like LED flashlights, digital multimeters, etc.
