Reviving a dead remote battery can be quick and easy! First, remove the battery and rub it between your palms to generate heat. This can sometimes provide a temporary boost. Second, clean the contacts within the remote using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to ensure a good connection. If these methods don't work, replace the battery as it's likely fully drained. Regular maintenance can help extend battery life, such as not leaving the remote in extremely hot or cold places.
