Remote shutter release

Just wondering what the life span is for a (properly oriented) CR2016 in a FotoTech remote shutter release. I have two and put new batteries in both a couple months ago but neither worked over the weekend. Either they died quickly or I've forgotten how to use them.

If it is an IR remote be sure the camera is set to remote mode. I find the IR remote doe not like to work from behind the camera to the side is OK.

I just tried to google what that item is. Need more information because there are several different products to choose from. Is this a simple IR remote with just a single button? Is it a radio device that requires another item to be connected to the camera? Is it an intervalometer with a LCD display on it and a wire that plugs into the camera? I get hits for all of those type of products.

The Amazon feedback for the Foto & Tech ML-L3 (3v button cell) suggests if you don't remove the battery when you aren't using it, they die quickly. So, it has a lot of battery drain just sitting there. You might look up your model on Amazon and see what people are saying about it.
