As I said
earlier, these types of batteries have a two year shelf
life even if you don't use them, so the remote will rather
quickly turn into a brick without replacements.
I deal with Li-Ion Batteries, and power systems in portable products every day. There is nothing in a Li-Ion Battery that gives it a 2 year shelf life. They will work and typically give over 95% of rated capacity with proper storage.
I've owned my remote for nearly 2 years now, it gets daily use, and I never have problems with the battery going dead.
